Dodgers have tentative deal to acquire Glasnow from Rays, subject to new contract: reports

The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a tentative trade with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire right-hander Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Manuel Margot for pitcher Ryan Pepiot and outfield prospect Jonny Deluca, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade is subject to the Dodgers and Glasnow agreeing to a new contract. The teams have until 11 a.m. EST on Sunday to complete the trade under a window granted by the commissioner's office.

The tentative trade was first reported by ESPN.

"There is nothing done yet," Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said on MLB Network at the news conference to discuss Shohei Ohtani's record $700 million US, 10-year contract.

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays are in agreement on a trade to send RHP Tyler Glasnow and OF Manuel Margot to the Dodgers for RHP Ryan Pepiot and OF Jonny Deluca -- contingent on Glasnow signing an extension with L.A., which is expected, sources tell ESPN.

Glasnow, who turned 30 in August, has a $25 million salary next year in the second season of a $30.35 million, two-year contract and can become a free agent after the World Series. He would receive a $1 million assignment bonus if traded.

Glasnow had Tommy John surgery on Aug. 4, 2021, and returned to the major leagues on Sept. 28, 2022. He went 10-7 with a 3.53 ERA for the Rays last season, striking out 162 and walking 37 in 120 innings.

Glasnow is 30-27 with a 3.89 ERA over eight seasons with Pittsburgh (2016-18) and the Rays. He would join an uncertain rotation — the Dodgers don't know whether Clayton Kershaw will re-sign after giving up six runs while getting just one out in the NL
