Whats to say Lynn doesn't sign beyond this year

What's to say he does? You're only guaranteed 1 year of Lynn vs 6 of Dunning.

Of all the pitchers they were rumored to be in on, this is the worst get of them all.

Completely agreed. Watch Lynn put up a 4.3 ERA this year and the K rate is down.

Why’s that?

Wow. Some of the takes in this thread are just unreal. Dane Dunning flashed potential. So what?

Lance Lynn is a bonafide ace who can throw 120 pitches every start. He’s the exact type of horse you bring in when you want to win a World Series. 

my only regret is they didn’t make this trade a few months ago because we’d have beaten the A’s. 

You make too much sense. Some here won't like it

Now open up the f$@#ing wallet and sign Bauer!!

The fact that he’s a FA in a year and Sox could have just signed him then.

WTF?! Dunning+?! Dunning alone was an overpay!

Cool, and I'm sure dunning will never be that in 6 years and the sox can only win next year... so good point all around.

I'm not excited either.  Trading Dunning Hardly closes the window in the next 5 years.

Agree 100%

Dunning is a nice piece but it's time to win a World Series. Lynn is huge for this rotation.

We kept our 'untouchables' and there is still plenty of offseason left to add to this roster.

Boom!

So I assume Gallo will be a separate trade?

The fact that we don't know the name probably means its not much of a name

It's probably Thompson or Dalquist. 

To Steve’s point, it’s pretty ridiculous they didn’t agree to this deal last August.

No way

God forbid we traded Dunning for an 1 or 2 type pitcher......we will now only contend for one year......GTFU.

You have to trade something to get something........

Never change, SoxTalk.....never change.

I seriously doubt it’s anyone that good

100% agree.  Don't like this if we can't get another couple years of Lynn after 2021.

Do we want Lynn for more years? Typically I laugh at how negative this board is, but I'm not thrilled about this

I don't care how good he's been the last few years, Dunning + another arm is a massive overpay for 1 year of Lynn.

Why’s that?

Mainly because he's a rental and will be 34 going into next year. One plus is he's pitching for his last contract.

I'm also just not a big fan of Lynn. He's a horse though and they needed one. 

Marquez, Darvish,  Snell and Gray had years and youth.

I absolutely hate trading a viable MLB asset for a one year rental. Next off season we're literally worse off with an owner who won't spend on pitching. Trying to plug a hole year after year this way just isn't a recipe for success.
