The Minnesota Twins signed Lance Lynn to a $12 million one-year contract after the start of Spring Training. On paper, this is a great deal for the Twins to be able to acquire a battle-tested successful veteran.
Lynn is a former All-Star who won 72 games with a 3.38 ERA during his six-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals. Although he missed the 2016 season recovering from Tommy John surgery, Lynn has always been an above-average starting pitcher in MLB. That is of course until he joined the Minnesota Twins, and the clock struck midnight.
