The right-hander agreed to extend his contract to four years. The acquisition and the contract did raise some eyebrows at the time because of the money and Glasnow&#8217;s well-documented injury history.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dodgers Have Discussed Tyler Glasnow In Trade Talks <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9mNfZMpXAF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/9mNfZMpXAF<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a8Sh0wuJAX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/a8Sh0wuJAX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLB Trade Rumors (@mlbtraderumors) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mlbtraderumors\/status\/1999846839969837427?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Is the Glass Half-Full?<\/h3>\n<p>The Dodgers knew about the finicky elbow and the time missed due to Tommy John surgery. Glasnow has missed half of the last two seasons. However, they thought that if he was healthy, he could potentially carry the pitching staff because the right-hander&#8217;s stuff is that good. And, when available, he proved them right. This postseason, he garnered a 1.69 ERA, pitching both as a starter and reliever. It is safe to say the Dodgers don&#8217;t win the 2025 World Series without him.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s on the Horizon?<\/h3>\n<p>It still remains unlikely that Los Angeles trades Glasnow for anything other than another quality arm. For what it&#8217;s worth, rumors about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/skubata01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-12-13_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tarik Skubal<\/a> to the Dodgers trade are swirling, and they do have the resources to make it happen. President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman spoke cryptically of being excited about the possibility of having something &#8220;lined up.&#8221; What that is, is anyone&#8217;s guess. However, it is clear that the Dodgers are going to make moves. Will it be before Christmas?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Gary A.
