MLB Insider: Grading the likelihood Vlad Guerrero Jr., Shane Bieber, Tyler Glasnow are traded
Tyler Glasnow
Now, for the name that has dominated trade rumors all offseason: Tyler Glasnow.
There is a very, very, very real chance that Glasnow is traded. The remaining one-year, $25 million left on his contract makes him a very difficult piece for the small-market Rays to keep and considering that they are highly unlikely to keep him, trading him has always been the most realistic option.
Glasnow is drawing interest from about a half dozen teams, maybe more, including the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, according to major-league sources. It’s unclear what the asking price is for Glasnow, but considering his past performance and ability to be a frontline starting pitcher, the Rays should get a nice return in exchange for the right-hander.
Glasnow is as good as gone. He will not be in Tampa Bay next year, barring an unforeseen development.
Odds: 9.8/10.
