The Chicago White Sox acquired right-wing Lance Lynn in a trade with the Texas Rangers early Tuesday morning, sources told ESPN, adding that this year will help increase their rotation with the giants leading the major leagues in the innings.
Sources said Lynn of the year was probably the most valuable figure in the trade market and is priced at the 25-year-old White Sox, who will move to Texas with left-handed pitching prospect Avery Weims.
Chicago set a big character target for an early pour to go with emerging Lucas Giolito and former CI Young champion Dallas Cachel, both of whom did well this past season as the White Sox released their first postseason since 2008. The White Sox were discussing the Sony Gray deal with the Cincinnati Reds but led to Lynn. Still, they lost their wild-card series to Auckland, with the American League MVP Jose Abrey around the reign, losing with the youth core, expecting to enter 2021 as AL Central favorites.
With a year and 8 8 million left on his contract, Lynn was a cost-effective option to recreate, landing on a watch at Rangers, Duning who entered this season after recovering from Tommy John’s surgery and felt like he Can develop. Mid-rotation stalwart.
In 2020, Lynn was more. It was a favorite to get second place in the AL Sai Young voting behind consensual winner Shane Bieber, until his Iran was ballooned by more than a one-point three-quarter to a weak final start. Innings In 84 innings, Lee hit 89 batters, walked 8 and caught the hitters at a batting average of .204. However, he allowed 13 home runs, a number that is worrisome, considering he entered the Globe Life field, which is home to the Rangers.
Rubbing a watch of Lynn’s caliber behind Giolito and Keuschel, however, is a rebellion for the White Sox, which includes Ab Bray, Tim Anderson, Joan Moncada, Yasmani Grandel, Louis Robert and Alloy Jimenez, among others.
Chicago has asked for left-outfield bats in the free-agent market, sources said.
