The pitching market has been the storyline of this year’s trade deadline, and the biggest reliever is now off the board. Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the San Diego Padres have made another big splash trade by acquiring Tanner Scott from the Miami Marlins. Bryan Hoeing is also going to the Padres.
Per MLB’s Christina De Nicola, Miami is getting LHP Robby Snelling, RHP Adam Mazur, INF Graham Pauley, and INF Jay Beshears in the deal. The Marlins got three of the Padres’ top five prospects (per MLB Pipeline) in return for Scott in Snelling (2nd), Mazur (4th) and Pauley (5th), though all four prospects have seemed to regress a bit this year as they’ve leveled up.

Scott has notched 18 saves for the Marlins with a 1.18 ERA and 53 strikeouts.
As the Padres chase a wild-card spot with the Mets, they add a dynamic left-handed closer to an already stout bullpen. The Mets had some interest in Scott. However, the price for prospects looks to have been high for David Stearns to make a move for Scott.
The Mets have, however, acquired reliever Tyler Zuber and starter Paul Blackburn. As of publishing the deadline is an hour away.
