On Saturday came news of another deal in the Great 2023 Sell-off, this time starter Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly heading to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Double-A RHSP Nick Nastrini, Double-A RHRP Jordan Leasure ... and former White Sox draft choice Trayce Thompson.
We’ll circle back and flesh out this flash story shortly, but Nastrini is a 6´3´´, 215-pound, four-pitch starter ranking No. 10 on Baseball America’s Top 30 (No. 9 on MLB Pipleline) for the Dodgers. He was drafted in the fourth round in 2021 out of UCLA. He’s started 17 games for the Tulsa Drillers, going 5-3 with a 4.
