Rays Engaged In Serious Talks For Lance Lynn
1 year agoThe Tampa Bay Rays are engaged in serious talks with the Chicago White Sox for veteran starter Lance Lynn, and the two sides have already exchanged names. Lynn would apparently be willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Rays at this year's trade deadline. The 36-year-old right-hander has had some rough starts and some dazzling ones in 2023. He gave up nine runs (six earned) while walking three and striking out six in 6 2/3 innings in his last start last Friday against the Minnesota Twins to raise his season ERA to 6.18 (5.28 FIP) and WHIP to 1.44 WHIP over 115 innings and 20 starts. Lynn is still striking out 27.3 percent of the batters he faces, and his fantasy value would receive a boost if he were traded to the contending Rays down the stretch.
