Dodgers add Glasnow, too

The Dodgers acquired righthanded starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Manuel Margot from the Rays in exchange for right-hander Ryan Pepiot and outfielder Jonny Deluca, ESPN and The Athletic reported Thursday.

The deal is contingent on Glasnow signing a contract extension, the reports said. He was under contract through 2025 but his window for a possible extension opened Thursday.

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 upon finishing his rehab. He has pitched just 60 games over the past five seasons.

Glasnow, 30, 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 Pirates (2016-18) and Rays (2018-23).

The Dodgers signed two-way star Shohei Ohtani, but Ohtani will not pitch in 2024 as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
