While the Rays seem to be actively shopping Glasnow, the executive clarified that the team is merely listening to offers for the left fielder and third baseman (per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times). Fielding trade proposals is simply standard operating procedure and a matter of due diligence for an MLB front office, especially for a team like Tampa Bay that is often highly active on the trade market.
The Phillies are planning to pick up a bullpen piece this offseason, and they're also considering an outfield acquisition. It's no surprise the Phillies are looking for another reliever, in light of Craig Kimbrel's departure in free agency, but the note about an outfielder is slightly more revealing; after all, the three primary outfielders from the team's 2023 postseason roster are all set to return in 2024.
