The San Diego Padres landed left-handed closer Tanner Scott from the Miami Marlins as part of a six-player deal Tuesday.
Right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing also heads to San Diego in exchange for left-hander Robby Snelling, right-hander Adam Mazur and infielders Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears.
Scott, 30, was a bright spot on a last-place Marlins team, earning his first All-Star nod this year. He is 6-5 with a 1.18 ERA and 18 saves across 44 appearances in his third season in Miami.
In parts of eight seasons for the Baltimore Orioles (2017-21) and Marlins (2022-24), Scott is 28-23 with 51 saves and a 3.63 ERA in 355 appearances, all out of the bullpen. He’s struck out 455 batters in 342 1/3 innings.
Hoeing, 27, is 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA this season across 16 games, including two starts. He has a 5.48 career ERA across parts of three seasons for Miami in 57 games (10 starts).
Of the four players heading back to Miami, only Pauley (13 games) and Mazur (eight) have MLB experience.
Pauley made his major league debut in March and has batted .125 (4-for-32) with two home runs and five RBIs at the MLB level. He has spent most of the season at Triple-A.
Mazur, 23, debuted for the Padres in June and has gone 1-3 with a 7.49 ERA in eight starts.
The 20-year-old Snelling, a 2022 first-round draft pick, has spent this season at Double-A. The 22-year-old Beshears, a 2023 sixth-round selection, has split the season between Class-A and High-A.
