The Chicago White Sox and All-Star right-hander Lance Lynn have agreed to a $38 million, two-year contract extension.
The 34-year-old Lynn is 9-3 with an AL-best 1.99 ERA in 16 starts in his first season with Chicago.
He was acquired in a December trade with Texas for right-hander Dane Dunning and lefty Avery Weems.
With Lynn helping anchor the rotation, the White Sox had an eight-game lead in the AL Central heading into their game against Houston.
