The St. Louis Cardinals reportedly began reshaping their rotation on Monday, signing right-handed pitcher Lance Lynn to a one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
The person, who requested anonymity to speak to the AP because the pact would be contingent on a medical exam, said Lynn would pocket $10 million next season. The agreement provides for an option year left at the club’s discretion for 2025, and a release clause of 1 million.
Lynn, who is 36, was 39It is pick of the Cardinals in the 2008 draft. He entered the major leagues three years later – when the Cardinals won the World Series – and became an All-Star after winning 72 games in six seasons.
Lynn then spent time with the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox before spending the last campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It will therefore be a return for him to the Cardinals.
