Lance Lynn is now a Texas Ranger.
Signing a 3 year deal worth $30 million, the Rangers quickly add the veteran to the rotation after pitching the past 4 seasons with 4 different teams, Texas being number 5 in that time.
With those teams, the Cardinals, Twins, Blue Jays and Twins, he had a record of 31-28 with in a starting role. He immediately becomes a part of the rotation looking for help, which comes in the form of a solid veteran of the league, seeing plenty of playoff baseball in his career. In 26 games pitched in his postseason career, he has pitched in 7 World Series games in 2011 and 2013 with a 1-1 record.
Only 31 years old, he’s to be a staple in this rotation out of the gate. His overall record for his career is 82-57 with a sterling 3.57 ERA in his 7 MLB seasons. Ranger nation, hang on to your hats, because this may only be the beginning.

This is huge. With the Rangers being cautious about spending too much money, Lynn is a great deal. He is not expected to be the ace. He is an innings eater who gets people out. Rangers have eyed him for a while. Signing him cheap for 3 years is awesome. He is a solid number 3 or 4 in a contending rotation. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
