Dodgers Decline Lance Lynn's 2024 Option
1 year agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers will decline right-hander Lance Lynn's $18 million club option for the 2024 season, according to a source. The Dodgers choose to let one of their veteran starters under club control hit the open market this offseason. The 36-year-old will receive a $1 million buyout. It's possible the Dodgers will try to re-sign Lynn on the cheap, but it's not a big surprise the Dodgers chose not to pick up Lynn's option after he pitched to a combined 5.73 ERA (5.53 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 67 walks and 191 strikeouts in 32 starts (183 2/3 innings) for the Blue and Chicago White Sox in 2023. Lynn isn't going to blow hitters away with velocity and he also surrendered a league-high 44 home runs this year. Lynn will give interested teams a veteran innings-eater for the back end of a starting rotation in 2024.
