The Los Angeles Dodgers successfully defended their World Series title this year and are looking to upgrade their roster despite their triumph against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers added a high-profile arm to the pitching staff by signing three-time All-Star closer Edwin Diaz on a three-year, $69 million deal. However the Dodgers are reportedly open to trading All-Star starter Tyler Glasnow.
According to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez, the Dodgers are not opposed to shipping the former Tampa Bay Rays star.
With the Dodgers reportedly open to trading Glasnow following his World Series winning campaign, we list the three potential landing spots for him.
3 potential landing spots for Tyler Glasnow
Detroit Tigers
The Detorit Tigers are reportedly interested in offers for two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. If the Tigers are to lose the coveted starting pitcher, they can turn to Tyler Glasnow as a potential replacement.
Glasnow has also been reportedly included in trade packages for the AL Cy Young winner. While Glasnow doesn't have the same upside as Skubal, the Dodgers ace, when healthy, is a formidable opponent.
New York Mets
The New York Mets were expected to make high-profile additions to the roster after missing out on a postseason spot last season. However, the NL East team has not made any significant moves this offseason.
A move for Tyler Glasnow could be the answer for Steve Cohen's team as the Mets rotation dealt with several injury issues last season. Glasnow could be a potential replacement for someone like Kodai Senga, who struggled from the mound last season.
San Diego Padres
As unlikely as it seems, Tyler Glasnow's move to the Dodgers' NL West rivals, the San Diego Padres, wouldn't be a surprise. The Padres are reportedly seeking a replacement for veteran All-Star Yu Darvish, who is set to miss the 2026 season after undergoing internal brace surgery last month.
The Padres pursued Glasnow during his Tampa Bay Rays days and the All-Star pitcher fits the bill for the NL West team. However, the biggest hurdle for a potential trade would be the fact that Glasnow is owed $60 million over the next two years.
