The Chicago White Sox dangle traded pitchers Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly to the Los Angeles Dodgers, receiving two pitching prospects alongside outfielder Trayce Thompson, per reports.

Essentially primarily based on Jeff Passan of ESPN, the White Sox dangle obtained two correct-handed pitching prospects, alongside with a familiar face:
The 2024 season marks the closing of Lynn’s contract, which is a club option.
This season, Lynn hasn’t pitched to his most productive ability. He holds a 6.18 ERA thru 20 begins, allowing the most earned runs (78) and residential runs (28) of any starter. Though, he’s confirmed superior flashes thru a franchise-drawl 16-strikeout game and three 7-inning appearances.
The White Sox before the entirety obtained Lynn good before flipping the calendar to 2021. They traded Dane Dunning and, then, the No. 5 prospect of their pipeline — Avery Weems — to the Texas Rangers for Lynn.
Equally, Lynn then had one season left on his contract when the White Sox obtained him. After an All-Megastar season in 2021, the White Sox extended him to a two-yr deal fee $38 million. He also has the aforementioned club option on his deal for the 2024 season.
Lynn’s alternate marks the most modern important alternate for the team following Lucas Giolito’s alternate to the Angels.
