Dodgers Have Discussed Tyler Glasnow In Trade Talks

"Right-hander Tyler Glasnow "has come up in conversations" between the Dodgers and other teams, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez writes. There isn't any indication that any sort of trade is close or that Glasnow will be dealt at all, as Gonzalez notes that a trade scenario seems like "a long shot." However, "the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving" Glasnow, so it would appear the starter isn't exactly untouchable."

"The big question at the time of the extension was whether or not Glasnow would manage to stay healthy, as a Tommy John surgery and multiple other injuries had significantly cut into his playing time over his eight previous MLB seasons. Glasnow did deliver a career-best 134 innings for L.A. in 2024, yet he didn't pitch after August 11 due to tendinitis in his throwing elbow. This year, Glasnow was limited to 90 1/3 regular-season innings, as a bout of shoulder inflammation led to another stint on the 60-day injured list."

"When he has been able to pitch, Glasnow (who is entering his age-32 season) has lived up to expectations. He has a 3.37 ERA, 30.9% strikeout rate, and 8.8% walk rate across his 224 1/3 frames of work in 2024-25, and his 1.69 ERA over 21 1/3 postseason innings this fall played a big role in the Dodgers' second consecutive World Series title."

Tyler Glasnow has been mentioned in trade conversations between the Dodgers and other teams, though a trade currently appears unlikely. The Dodgers would not be opposed to moving Glasnow, indicating he is not untouchable. Los Angeles acquired Glasnow two years ago and signed him to a long-term extension that added roughly $111.5 million over 2025-28, with $30 million salaries in 2026-27 and a $30M club option for 2028 (converting to a $21,562,500 player option if declined). Glasnow has a history of major injuries, including Tommy John surgery, elbow tendinitis and recent shoulder inflammation that limited innings. When healthy, Glasnow posted a 3.37 ERA, 30.9% strikeout rate, 8.8% walk rate across 224 1/3 innings in 2024-25 and delivered a 1.69 ERA in 21 1/3 postseason innings that helped secure the Dodgers' title.
