Tyler Glasnow, the Rays player representative for the union, is a regular guest on the Chris Rose Rotation podcast, and recorded his latest appearance shortly after news broke that Wander Franco had signed a 12-year deal that could reach $223 million.
Glasnow was recording with Chris Rose and White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito when Rose asked the Rays ace recovering from Tommy John surgery for his reaction, and Glasnow was quick to say Franco, “Could have gotten more.”
Tyler Glasnow also noted that “it’s an amazing” deal for Franco, even if it “doesn’t guarantee” Franco will be in Tampa Bay for all 12 years, an apparent reference to the Rays trading players who sign long term deals before they expire.
