Glasnow (elbow) signed a two-year extension with the Rays on Friday, keeping him under contract until 2024, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow had been due for one more year of arbitration before hitting the open market, but he'll now remain a Ray for two more seasons. The fact that Tampa Bay agreed to the deal now, rather than over the offseason, seemingly indicates they feel good about his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Glasnow is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, which would give him time to pitch in the majors before the end of the regular season, albeit likely as a reliever. The extension means he will remain in a good pitcher's park with the team that helped him break out for at least one year longer than expected.
