The Los Angeles Dodgers clearly operate every offseason with the mindset of making their team as good as it can be.

Andrew Friedman and company won’t just trade for the sake of trading — though in this instance with the market somewhat thin in the outfield spot specifically, there’s a school of thought that the front office will dip into its pool of talented prospects/young players to better add depth to what’s considered the main weakness from a position player standpoint.

Considering the depth of the farm system, one would think a couple of players from the minor leagues would form the centerpiece of a possible blockbuster trade. Having said that, one media pundit thinks a veteran contributor — and one that helped the Dodgers win the World Series in 2025 — could be sent packing

Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com recently cobbled together a list of interesting questions all pertaining to the free agent market. He polled a number of front office executives around the league, and one anonymously gave the opinion that they believe Tyler Glasnow could be available via trade as the Dodgers look to fill over holes on their roster.

“Sleeper name: Tyler Glasnow,” said one voter. “Feels like the Dodgers can go to [Shohei] Ohtani, [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto, [Blake] Snell, [Roki] Sasaki, [Emmet] Sheehan and others and use Glasnow on the trade market to cover up holes.”

While the Dodgers do have unparalleled depth within their starting rotation, trading Glasnow seems like somewhat of a stretch.

Growing up a Dodgers fan in nearby Santa Clarita, he’s relished the chance to pitch for his hometown team. Glasnow stayed healthy enough to be a massive impact arm for the team in the postseason, pitching a gem versus the Philadelphia Phillies and throwing in three different games during the World Series triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Glasnow has by all accounts been a terrific teammate, demonstrated by his willingness to throw in both Game 6 and 7 of the World Series out of the bullpen.

He’s also on a very team-friendly deal given his talent. Glasnow is on the books until 2027, and then there’s a team option in 2028.

When factoring all of this together, the anonymous front office executive likely was theorizing that the Dodgers could entertain trading Glasnow rather than operating with any semblance of knowledge on the matter.
