The Miami Marlins, despite their great month of May, are considered to be out of contention this season.
That distance from the playoffs, combined with having already traded away second baseman and leadoff man Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres, has several teams interested in different players on the Marlins for potential trades.Scott, 29, had a rough start to the season, taking two losses in the team’s first five games. He’s rebounded pretty well, however, lowering his ERA down to 1.57 and converting seven of his eight save opportunities.
But the biggest change was to his walk rate. Having walked a career 13.1% of batters faced and finishing 2022 at a 15.9% rate, Scott dramatically improved in that area, cutting his free passes by half, down to 7.8%.
