July 6, 20214 yr Looks like there's definitely interest from Lynn. I wonder if the feeling is mutual?
July 6, 20214 yr Well, if he keeps falling off post sticky stuff, I am not sure I am interested anymore.

I think there will be an adjustment period for guys who were on it. Lynn has been missing location quite a bit arm-side. That's probably fixable, but his pinpoint location he had with the sticky stuff might not be there anymore.
July 6, 20214 yr "Lance Lynn would be interested in having a team pay him a large sum of money over the next several years and would find this acceptable to him. Time to write the article."
July 6, 20214 yr NO ONE is going to have pin point control anymore. Look at Gio and especially Cole. Cole may be a 4.5 Era guy the rest of his contract. IMO you HAVE to extend Lynn 2 years.
July 6, 20214 yr Lynn feels at home here, great. Nothing in the article suggests that an extension is likely, or is even being discussed.

July 7, 20214 yr He is a horse and we sure could use him in the top half of the rotation these next 3 years.

I would like to see the White Sox 2022 and beyond budget, and contract terms before making any statement regarding any Lynn extension. The Sox have already committed over half of this and next years (if $130M) payroll looked up to players in their 30s declining in production and or health.

July 7, 20214 yr He said he prioritizes winning at this stage. big check Think he gets along with Tony. check Likes atmosphere . check Has played in Min and NY without big success check. Had issues with STL upper management as he was outspoken. check Has made 65 million. Like most free agents will probably want/go with biggest pay check......... That said two years, 50mill with a team option at 25, player option 10 or option year based on innings/starts. He should be like Keuchel and move down a spot in the rotation each year such as #2 next year , #3 2022, #4 2023 or 3,4,5. Gio probably tests free agency, Keuchel declining performance. You may want the horse for innings. Maybe he is another Bartolo and can keep going at his age and conditioning.

He is comfortable and getting up there in years (post steroid era), he should take that.
July 7, 20214 yr Well I am looking at keeping guys that can still pitch in the normal spin rate era. Rodon and Lynn yes. Probably Kopech.Not so sure about Gio. Don’t really know about Cease either, but he’s cheap atm on the back burner. Thats the way to build a staff right now. If anyone is a suspect under pressure it is Gio. Edited July 7, 20214 yr by Chick Mercedes
July 7, 20214 yr Absolutely sign up for the next 2 to 3 years. Don't forget Hahn gave up a strong pitching prospect in Dunning to get Lynn. It would be bad if we lost Lynn to another team as a FA, when the fact is, who do you have in our system to replace him? You would have to go trade for a pitcher if you lost Lynn and that of course, would take giving up talent and prospects. You already gave up prospects to get Lynn....now it's only money Hahn has to give up to keep him.
