The White Sox traded Lynn to the Dodgers alongside Joe Kelly on Friday in exchange for Trayce Thompson (oblique), Nick Nastrini and Jordan Leasure, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Lynn hasn't exactly been at his best this season, holding a 6.47 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 119.2 frames. However, the Dodgers have developed a reputation for rejuvenating pitchers' careers, so it's not out of the question to think Lynn could return to his old form with his new team. On a positive note, Lynn has been generating strikeouts at a prolific clip -- his 26.9 K% is the third-best rate of his career -- and his ability to eat innings should prove valuable for a Dodgers squad relying on rookie pitchers such as Bobby Miller and Emmet Sheehan, both of whom could have their workloads monitored more carefully down the stretch. Lynn made his final start with the White Sox on Wednesday, so he'll likely be ready to make his Los Angeles debut at some point during the Dodgers' three-game series with the Athletics that begins next week.
