Dodgers acquire Tyler Glasnow from the Rays
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
I can imagine the Rays wouldn’t want to deal with the Sox, but given the Sox super duper farm system, shouldn’t they start making some deals like this?
BTV saw this trade as a big win for the Rays, so an extension for Glasnow makes sense to bridge that gap.
How many pitchers do the Dodgers now have that had Tommy John?
Ohtani
Gonsolin
Glasnow
Buehler
May
Ohtani
Gonsolin
Glasnow
Buehler
May
I think they’re really loading up. I believe they made this deal in part because Yamamoto is coming to LA too. The ‘25 rotation is going to be unreal. Ohtani, YY, Glasnow, Buehler, May/Gonsolin.
Happy for Glasnow. Great outcome for him.
Feels like a really solid move for the Rays. The Chris Archer trade just keeps giving.

Hmm, I would think the opposite. They’re out on Yamamoto, surely.
I’m guessing Glasnow gets a 6/$150m extension, adding to his current $25m deal. $25m AAV. It would be for his age 31-36 seasons.
You said this out loud?! What on earth makes you think they’re “out” on anyone at this point? Money clearly is no object.
Does this open the possibility of YY coming to Boston? It’s tough to see all of the other big moves and the Sox just kinda dumpster diving again.
really what I mean is: maybe this opens the floodgates of free agents.

I’m unbelievably interested in what this extension looks like.
Either is way, the Rays keeping Raying. What a great trade. Crazy what you can do when you create a pitching factory and stick with a real process.
And Glasnow is awesome when he pitches but he often a doesn’t pitch. Often often.

Apparently Rays are sending 4M in cash to further bridge the gap I mentioned.

I think the extension is going to look like a bargain compared to the nutso numbers being thrown around on Yamamoto. Glasnow seems like a super level headed guy and has to appreciate his own fragility. Locking in a big deal a year ahead of time is a huge benefit to someone with his history, he’s from LA and it would just make no sense for him to scuttle this deal by taking a hard line stance. He’s going to do a very team-friendly deal and he’s going to absolutely kick ass in the NL West (as long as he’s healthy).
What do you mean by the last sentence?
Padres have a good lineup
Dbacks have a good lineup
Coors Field
I don't know what qualifies as a super team in baseball, but I hope satan collected Wayne Huizenga's debt from 1997.
I’m not saying they’re out, because they’re the dodgers, but if this puts the Mets and MFY as our top competition for Yamamoto I think that’s good for us if we’re truly interested enough to pay a high price. The Mets and Fascists don‘t, to my eyes, have the obvious allure that LA would have and I can see our sales pitch, perhaps with a healthy lead in highest offer, being enough to get him. Cohen has deeper than deep pockets and the MFY just added Soto but I don’t think those are on quite the same level of pull as “make more money than god, play with Ohtani, and compete every year in fabulous LA.” and are things we can more easily compete with.
I’m still guessing he ends up on the dodgers, though.

And that was last year. 529 IP in 8 seasons. And the Dodgers are planning to sign him to a nine figure extension at age 30? OK.
Just for fun (not a fair comparison):
Glasnow, 6 seasons with the Rays:
27-16. 3.20 ERA. 388.1IP
Walter Johnson, 1914
28-18. 1.97 ERA. 371.2 IP
As much as I like Pepiot, and I really do, I really feel like the Rays are gonna take a step back in 2024.
The rotation has been decimated by injuries, no Wander Franco, etc.

That Sox team was absolutely loaded though the Yanks outspent them. I was more commenting on the OP that talked about super teams. Just about every position had a past or future all star. And those that weren’t were still spectacular.
I think they will swing another trade for a pitcher. Likely Randy, Ramirez or Paredes will get sent out. Maybe a good match with Seattle.
Also could see them being in on one of the second tier free agents.
Yes but they won’t pay Glasnow 95% of that nine-figure extension until 2075.
Ironically 21 year old rookie Evan Carter took them to the next level, he didn’t come up until Sept 8 and then he had a .917 OPS batting third in the postseason. He came up so late that he is still eligible for Rookie of the Year this year, same as Randy Arozarena a few years ago.
Not arguing with you, but I'm legitimately surprised. The 2004 Sox had a higher payroll than the MFY?
Yeah, that's what I was seeing as I was looking it up. I also should have read the rest of the thread before I posted as I saw it was addressed above. My bad.
I mean sure---but you're counting on a guy they haven't signed and a guy we don't know if he can pitch again. We should pump the brakes a bit.
What exactly are you saying that the smartest, most successful team in baseball will never learn? That pitchers get hurt? I think they probably know that. Are they supposed to learn that it's dumb to pay money to good players? Because so far that strategy is working out pretty well for them.
I addressed that above. I was speaking to the original post, not in terms of cash.
Wow, that’s it? A pretty short deal. Guess he didn’t have a ton of leverage, but seems like as a free agent he could have potentially gotten a lot more than that in a year.
I feel the opposite. Firmly puts him in the top 10 salaries for a starting pitcher, but he's only thrown 300 innings total since 2019.
I think it's a smart bet for the Dodgers. The thing about counting up the innings he's thrown in the past few years... it's mostly just the effects of the Covid season combined with a TJ shortly after. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out like the Eovaldi contract, another guy with injury red flags all over him at the time.
1 World Series in the past 20 years despite being in the top-10 in payroll almost every year. And save your "but regular-season wins" argument -- there's no President's Trophy in baseball.
I don’t know if it was available to us, but I’d have wanted to make an equivalent trade-and-extend for Glasnow.
The innings pitched are truly abysmal for a starter, I'm personally quite glad we didn't go for this.
If you're him, are you betting on yourself or the guaranteed $27.5M four the next 4 years and the possibility of multiple rings?
