Shohei Ohtani's late compensation quickly benefited the Los Angeles Dodgers when they acquired pitcher Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays.
As the ESPN network reported on Friday, the California organization completed a transaction with the Tampa Bay Rays to initially acquire him before submitting a four-year, $110 million contract extension; The athlete in question will therefore receive a five-year contract worth $135 million. The package includes a $10 million signing bonus and a $30 million option for 2029. In addition to the shooter, the Dodgers received outfielder Manuel Margot while waiving outfielder Jonny DeLuca and pitcher Ryan Pepiot.
Glasnow went 10-7 with a 3.53 ERA last season. The former Pittsburgh Pirates have eight seasons of Major League Baseball experience.
When Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract a few days ago, he offered his new team to pay him just $2 million per year until the end of the contract. So the idea was aimed at giving management more freedom to attract new players while avoiding the Manfred Circuit luxury tax. Thus, it will receive $680 million between 2034 and 2043.
