It’s safe to say it: Lance Lynn is the ace of this staff and big get for Rangers GM Jon Daniels. Daniels signed him to a three year $30 million dollar contract before the 2019 season. Lynn ended up fifth in the Cy Young voting going 16-11 in 33 stats with an ERA of 3.67 last year. He also pitched …
