Tyler Glasnow 'Would Much Prefer' To Stay With Rays

Feb 4, 2022 8:34 AM

Tyler Glasnow is expected to miss a majority of the 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last August.

Despite that, the Tampa Bay Rays may look to move Glasnow once the lockout is lifted. If the right-hander has his way, he'll remain with Tampa.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Glasnow said when asked if he'll remain with the Rays. "I hope. I really, really hope. I didn't get traded before the lockout, so that’s a good sign. … I think if somebody were to call the Rays and give them a really awesome deal or something, (president of baseball operations Erik Neander) is not going to be like 'no.' He has to listen to everything. That's just how being a GM is.

"But we have a really good relationship. Time will tell, but I would much prefer to stay a Ray. It would be nice to watch everyone in the beginning of the season and how good the team is and how young everyone is and then try to weave my back in and contribute."
