Dodgers reliever's family threatened after game

Dodgers pitcher Tanner Scott and his family were subjected to severe online abuse following a recent game where he took the loss. His wife, Maddie, revealed the disturbing nature of the messages received, including explicit death threats against their family. The vitriol extended to hateful comments targeting their young son, which Maddie shared on social media to highlight the extreme nature of the abuse.

The couple, married since 2021, are expecting their second child this fall. The incident raises concerns about the impact of online harassment on athletes and their families, as Maddie questioned the escalation of online behavior beyond the scope of a game.
