It&#8217;s quite a story for the 25-year-old who was an All-Star this season, recording two strikeouts, giving up no runs, and hitting 103 mph. It will surely be a day in his baseball career that he will never forget. Miller is sporting a 2.27 ERA, with 15 saves and 70 strikeouts. He is a masterclass and a force to be reckoned with. His strikeout rate is also out of this world at 46.7%, showcasing his dominance as one of the best relievers in MLB. The Orioles are just one of many teams that have drawn interest in him.<\/p>\n<h3>Marlins Scott on the Trade Block<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/07\/17\/aj-puk-marlins-trade-candidate\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Scott<\/a> is also an appealing reliever in the majors, as he was also an <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/07\/16\/mlb-all-star-game-active-starters\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">All-Star<\/a> this season and has an ERA of 1.30 with 15 saves and 46 strikeouts. Ironically, the 29-year-old made his MLB debut with the Orioles back in 2017. So, if the Marlins were to trade him to the Orioles, he would return to a familiar environment. As with Miller, Scott is also gaining much traction from several teams besides the Orioles. From the start of the 2023 season,\u00a0 Scott has demonstrated a commanding dominance in the NL. He has accomplished this by recording four or more outs in a save six times this season. In addition, he and Seattle Mariners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/munozan01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-07-20_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> are tied for the most in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo: \u00a9 Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the most potent relievers on the trade block right now are Mason Miller and Tanner Scott, and the Baltimore Orioles are interested in both.
