Glasnow could be the ace of the 2023 staff. What would it take to sign him long term?

When Rays fans look to the future, do they see Tyler Glasnow continuing to pitch in Columbia Blue? Glasnow had Tommy John surgery on the 4th of August after experiencing elbow issues against the White Sox. It appears that Glas won’t pitch until 2023, or perhaps he’ll log a few innings in late 2022. But the dilemma for the Rays is that Glasnow becomes a free agent in 2024. Some have said that the Rays might consider cutting their losses and trading him now.

I believe this would be a bad idea. Glasnow is only 28 years old and he has so much to prove in the next couple of years.
