Tyler Glasnow Trade Speculation Heats Up Ahead of MLB Offseason
The MLB offseason is upon us, and as is often the case, trade rumors are swirling. One name that has consistently popped up in trade discussions over the past few years is Tyler Glasnow. With just one year remaining on his contract and the Tampa Bay Rays unlikely to offer him a lucrative, multi-year extension, it appears that the 30-year-old pitcher is poised to be on the move.
According to reports, two MLB executives have expressed confidence that Glasnow will find himself in a new uniform come the 2024 season. While the Los Angeles Dodgers have been mentioned as potential suitors, several teams around the league are undoubtedly eyeing the ace-caliber pitcher.
Despite the uncertainty of his contract situation, Glasnow boasts considerable trade value. His track record, when healthy, speaks volumes. The right-hander possesses a formidable arsenal of pitches that can make him a game-changer on the mound.
In the 2023 season, Glasnow made 21 starts, a career-high for him, amassing a 3.53 ERA and an impressive 1.083 WHIP. During his 120 innings pitched, he struck out 162 batters.
While injuries have plagued him in the past, any team willing to trade for Glasnow must weigh the risks against the potential rewards. His ability to elevate a pitching rotation’s performance could make him a coveted asset in the upcoming offseason dealings.
