The Chicago Cubs are in the market for a top reliever before the MLB trade deadline, should they look to the Miami Marlins for help?
is ranked 24th in MLB for staff ERA, so they should absolutely look for help. They should be careful, though, as some top arms might be more of a risk than others.
Scott has a lot going for him on the surface. Through his first 17 appearances this year, he has an ERA all the down at 2.12 and a WHIP of 1.53. The first and most obvious stat that is troubling would be his walk issues. So far, he is averaging one walk per innings. His command issues have his BB/9 at by far the highest mark of his entire career.
An outlier statistic in the other direction for the 29-year-old is his BABIP. His previous career low was .224 in 2020, but he is a career .322 guy. In 2024, it’s all the way down at .186. He isn’t allowing a ton of hits this season, but logic says that he is due to regress a bit from where he’s at right now.
