Lance Lynn Stats

The Chicago White Sox acquired starting pitcher Lance Lynn from the Texas Rangers early Tuesday morning in exchange for 25-year-old right-hander Dane Dunning and left-handed pitching prospect Avery Weems, according to sources. The 33-year-old right-hander led the majors in innings in 2020 and was the most prized pitcher on the trade market this winter. Lynn will accompany Lucas Giolito and former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel at the top of Chicago's starting rotation in 2021. Lynn has one year and $8 million remaining on his contract. Dunning made his debut last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Lynn was the favorite to finish second in the American League Cy Young voting until a final poor start ruined his chances. He struck out 89 and walked 25 while holding hitters to a .204 average in 84 innings, but he also allowed 13 home runs.

The Texas Rangers are listening to trade offers for starting pitcher Lance Lynn. USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale reported two weeks ago that rival executives fully expect the Rangers to deal the 33-year-old right-hander this offseason. He's entering the final year of his three-year, $30 million deal and could be a very nice one-season rental for a team in search of some experienced starting pitching. The Rangers are in rebuild mode and Lynn had a nice 3.32 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP in 13 starts during the shortened 2020 season. Lynn could be even more attractive with a winning ballclub in a new venue.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Lance Lynn looks to get his team out of an eight-game losing streak against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. The right-hander has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this season and has become a real ace for the Texas staff. He has already faced the A's once in 2020, where he threw 6 1/3 innings with one earned run given up, three walks allowed, and seven strikeouts. The A's strikeout seventh-most in the league versus right-handed pitchers and Lynn could reach double digits if he goes deep enough into the game. That scenario is highly likely because the former-Cardinals pitcher has gone 30-straight starts with throwing at least 100 pitches. Consider Lynn a must-start in season-long and daily formats.
