Multiple news reports Thursday said the Dodgers
acquired Glasnow and outfielder Manuel Margot from the Rays in
exchange for right-hander Ryan Pepiot and outfielder Jonny
Deluca.
Glasnow, 30, is slated to earn $25 million in 2024, the second
and final year of a $30.35 million deal he signed with Tampa Bay
in August 2022. Without an extension, he would be eligible for
free agency after the 2024 World Series.
The contract extension will take effect immediately. It includes
a $10 million signing bonus this year and a $30 million club
option for 2029, per MLB.com. Glasnow could execute his $20
million player option should the Dodgers not pick up his option.
Glasnow has shown flashes of promise as a staff ace -- when
healthy. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and was limited
to two starts in 2022 following his rehab. He has pitched just
60 games over the past five seasons.
He went 10-7 with a 3.53 ERA in 21 starts last season, striking
out a career-high 162 batters in 120 innings. He has a career
3.89 ERA and a 30-27 record in 127 games (88 starts) for the
Pittsburgh Pirates (2016-18) and Tampa Bay (2018-23).
The Dodgers are working on replacing multiple pieces in their
starting rotation. It is unclear whether franchise icon Clayton
Kershaw, a free agent, will return. Julio Urias is not expected
to return amid an investigation into alleged domestic violence.
Dustin May underwent right elbow surgery to repair his flexor
tendon on July 18 and his return timetable is unclear. Tony
Gonsolin had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Sept. 1.
The Dodgers signed two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who was formally
introduced by the team Thursday, but Ohtani will not pitch in
2024 as he recovers from arm surgery.
