The Texas Rangers finally signed a starting pitcher to a contract of more than two years. Yesterday evening, they came to an agreement with 31-year-old right-hander, Lance Lynn, on a 3-year/$30 million deal. Lynn should slot into the Rangers rotation as the #1 or #2 starter, in front of or behind Mike Minor.
He’s the third starter Texas has signed this offseason. First it was Drew Smyly, then Edinson Volquez, and now Lance Lynn. Add incumbents Mike Minor and Yohander Mendez to the mix and they have a five-man rotation.
