After signing Shohei Ohtani earlier this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers are also acquiring starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow in a mega deal with the Tampa Bay Rays.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays are in agreement on a trade to send RHP Tyler Glasnow and OF Manuel Margot to the Dodgers for RHP Ryan Pepiot and OF Jonny Deluca — contingent on Glasnow signing an extension with L.A., which is expected, sources tell ESPN.
The extension window for Tyler Glasnow opened this morning, sources said, and there is a strong belief from those involved that it will get done. Details on the trade and everything it entails are live at ESPN:
Acquiring Glasnow is a huge move for the Dodgers and continues to vault them into major contender status in the National League. The Dodgers rotation was ravaged by injuries and other issues in 2023 and Glasnow goes a long way towards helping solve that in 2024.
The team will be without Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin for most or all of 2024 because of injury while Julio Urias has departed as well. Clayton Kershaw’s status for next year is also unknown at this time. He is injured as well and wouldn’t be ready until at least June – if he even wants to return.
The 30-year-old Glasnow went 10-7 last season with a 3.53 ERA over 21 starts. Lifetime, he’s 30-27 with a 3.89 ERA.
As for the Rays’ acquisitions: Pepiot is 26 years old and went 2-1 last season with a 2.14 ERA. Deluca is 25 years old and has 42 career major league at-bats.
