Lance Lynn, a former Chicago White Sox pitcher, is in negotiations with the Cubs for a one-year contract to strengthen their starting rotation. After a solid season with the Cardinals, where he recorded a 3.84 ERA, Lynn brings veteran experience crucial for the Cubs' playoff aspirations in a competitive NL Central. His past performance with the White Sox, including a notable 2021 season, highlights his capability but also reflects on struggles in postseasons. With expected earnings between $5-10 million, Lynn aims to contribute significantly to his new team.
Coming off a year with the Cardinals, Lynn is entering his 14th year in somewhat steady shape. He started 23 games for St. Louis while holding a 3.84 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 117.1 frames.
Given his veteran status and the Cubs' need to make a playoff run in the always unpredictable NL Central, Lynn should make between $5-10 million.
Although Lynn's pitching slowly eroded with each additional year he spent on the Sox, fans will never forget what Lynn brought to Chicago: hope.
But just like the Sox's 2021 postseason, Lynn fell terribly short. He gave up five earned runs off of six earned runs in 3.2 innings against the Astros in Game 1 of the ADS.
