Lance Lynn Attracts Interest as Potential Closer

Veteran pitcher Lance Lynn, who has not pitched out of the bullpen since 2018, is drawing interest from several MLB teams as a potential closer, according to his agent. Lynn expressed intrigue about the possibility of transitioning to a late-inning role, noting that he enjoys the competitive nature of closing games. Teams like the Los Angeles Angels, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Detroit Tigers are reportedly in need of relief help, making Lynn a viable option due to his extensive experience as a starter. Lynn has undergone physical changes, including losing weight to mitigate knee issues that affected his performance last season. While he has a long history as a starter, his past brief appearances in relief and his current interest in the role present a unique opportunity for both Lynn and interested teams. As the free-agent market remains competitive, Lynn's adaptability could enhance his chances of securing a contract quickly.
