The Los Angeles Dodgers added an experienced arm to their short-handed rotation and a familiar face to the back end of their bullpen Friday, acquiring starter Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly from the Chicago White Sox, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
In exchange, the White Sox received outfielder Trayce Thompson, who was originally drafted by Chicago in 2009, along with minor league starter Nick Nastrini and minor league reliever Jordan Leasure, sources said.
Lynn and Kelly join shortstop Amed Rosario and utilityman Enrique Hernandez among the Dodgers acquisitions this week, all of whom could be free agents after the season.
Lynn and Kelly each have club options for next season and are making a combined $27.5 million in 2023. The 36-year-old Lynn has struggled mightily through the second season of a two-year, $38 million extension he signed with the White Sox in July 2021, posting a 6.47 ERA in 119 2/3 innings while allowing a major-league-leading 28 home runs.
