The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to tinker with their lineup in the 2023 Major League Baseball offseason. On Thursday, they acquired starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow of Newhall, California and centerfielder Manuel Margot of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic from the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Jonny Deluca of Thousand Oaks, California and pitcher Ryan Pepiot of Indianapolis, Indiana according to Rogers Sportsnet.
The principal player in the deal is Glasnow, who at times has been an elite pitcher. The Dodgers are Glasnow’s third Major League team following three seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2016 to 2018, and the last six seasons with the Rays from 2018 to 2023. Margot is also joining his third team. He spent four seasons with the San Diego Padres from 2016 to 2019, and the last four seasons with the Rays from 2020 to 2023. Deluca was a rookie in 2023 with the Dodgers, and Pepiot has spent the last two seasons with the Dodgers.
