Cubs Reportedly Discussing One-Year Deal with Lance Lynn

News summary

The Chicago Cubs are in negotiations with veteran pitcher Lance Lynn for a potential one-year contract as they seek to bolster their starting rotation. Lynn, who had a solid performance with a 3.84 ERA over 117.1 innings last season with the Cardinals, is seen as a key option in a free-agent market that is dwindling. Despite concerns about his fit on the roster, given the team's existing rotation depth and younger talent, the Cubs may be looking for Lynn's experience and leadership. The discussions come as the Cubs aim to address injuries in their pitching staff, particularly with Javier Assad expected to start the season on the injured list. Lynn, who has reportedly lost weight and returned to a healthier state, could offer both rotation and bullpen flexibility. However, some analysts question how he would integrate with the team's younger pitchers and whether he can recapture his past effectiveness.
