The Chicago White Sox are acquiring right-hander Lance Lynn in a deal with the Texas Rangers for right-hander Dane Dunning and a prospect, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The White Sox have been looking for a starting pitcher and they are landing arguably the best on the trade market. They also had been discussing a Sonny Gray deal with the Reds before pivoting toward Lynn, sources said.
Lynn, 33, was incredibly consistent as the ace of the Rangers, going 22-14 with a 3.57 ERA across the last two seasons. He joins a pitching staff in Chicago that includes Lucas Giolito, Dallas Keuchel and Dylan Cease.
Dunning, 25, made his MLB debut last season. He went 2-0 with a 3.97 ERA across seven starts.
