The Los Angeles Dodgers and recently acquired starter Tyler Glasnow are finalizing a five-year, $135 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The deal will start this season, meaning there are four years and $110 million in new money that includes a $30 million club option in year five. The deal could reach a total value of $145 million if the deal is picked up. If not, Glasnow has a $20 million player option.
