Tyler Glasnow, Tampa Bay Rays

Glasnow is very likely to be traded this offseason, and his $25 million salary is a primary reason for that.

The Rays are not in a position where they can 1) pay that salary and 2) do not seem likely to extend him before he becomes a free agent after the 2024 season. So it would behoove the front office to get ahead of it and listen on any potential Glasnow inquiry.

From everything I heard at the GM Meetings, the Rays are expected to listen to Glasnow inquiries and a trade seems increasingly likely. Where he may end up is unclear, but given his talent and past performance, there should be a long list of teams after the 30-year-old.

I fully expect Glasnow to be traded and playing elsewhere besides Tampa Bay in 2024.

Potential fits: Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals.
