Lance Lynn heading to Twins after six-year run in St. Louis
Lance Lynn has found a new home.
The veteran right-hander has agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the Minnesota Twins, according to multiple reports.
Lynn had been one of a host of higher profile free agents looking for a team with Opening Day less than a month away.
Lynn, 30, was 11-8 with a 3.43 ERA as he rebounded to reclaim his spot as one of the St. Louis Cardinals' most durable starters in 2017 after missing all of 2016 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Lynn hadn't pitched for St. Louis since the end of the 2015 season. He had elbow ligament replacement surgery shortly after that.
Owner of a 3.38 career ERA, Lynn started at least 29 games each season from 2012 to 2015, twice exceeding the 200-inning mark. He recorded at least 180 strikeouts the first three of those seasons and was an All-Star in 2012.
