The New York Mets accept.
After the disappointing performances of my pitching staff in 2022 (I am looking at you Jose Berrios and Tyler Mahle!) I deciced to make adding an ace the top priority this offseason. By trading for Lynn I was able to do this without significantly damaging my minor league system. Cespedes and Ramos are not included in my minors top 10 and were not part of my future plans. The third piece of my trade package - Chris Flexen - is what he is - a solid backend starter but no ace.
Lynn had a slow start to his 2022 campaign but was one the best starters in MLB over the final two months of the season and I see no reason why he should not continue this run if healthy.
Side note: Chris Flexen was the final player left from my originally drafted roster. Thanks for the memories!
I would like to thank the Cards GM for our good preseason trade talks and wish Chris, Heliot and Yoelkis all the best in St. Louis.
Welcome to the boys in orange and blue, Lance and as always...let´s go Mets!
