Tyler Glasnow may have been LA’s best piece of business

The Dodgers’ trade for Tyler Glasnow – and subsequent contract extension – was (understandably) overshadowed in the winter by the Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto signings, but it may have been one of baseball’s best offseason moves.

The 30-year-old Southern California native has given up just four hits and three earned runs through his first two starts for the Dodgers. Glasnow’s talent has never been in question, just his ability to stay healthy with only two career 100-inning seasons.

Yankees bullpen may be better than we thought

After falling behind 4-0 in the second inning against the Astros on Thursday, the Yankees kept Houston off the board for the last seven innings in a nail-biting 5-4 win at Minute Maid Park.

Nestor Cortes settled in to pitch five innings and then three New York relievers – Jonathan Loáisiga, Ian Hamilton and Clay Holmes – tossed four scoreless frames in the Opening Day win. It certainly wasn’t easy as the three gave up eight hits in the four innings, but Hamilton and Holmes both pitched well in the Yankees’ disappointing 2023 season and should play a big role this year.
