NEW YORK -- Two days after being traded by the Minnesota Twins to the Yankees, big and husky righty Lance Lynn flew into New York on Wednesday morning and arrived at Yankee Stadium just before 11 a.m. for a 1:05 p.m. matinee against the Baltimore Orioles.
After a quick trip to the manager's office for a briefing and then a lot of warm welcomes from his new teammates, Lynn headed out to the bullpen behind the left-field fence to begin his new role as a long reliever.
This switch from starter to reliever might not last long.
