Lance Lynn's Surprising Career Shift: Could He Be the Next Big Closer? 

Lance Lynn is considering a major shift in his career as he explores the possibility of transitioning from a starting pitcher to a closer. At 37 years old, this two-time All-Star has had a solid run as a starter, but with recent struggles and a 5.73 ERA last season, it seems he might be looking for a new role to extend his time in the league.

This raises some fascinating questions for us baseball fans. How do you feel about veteran players reinventing themselves in new roles? Is there a precedent for success in such transitions, or do you think it’s a risky move that could backfire?

Lynn's experience as a reliever during his rookie season with the Cardinals adds an interesting layer to this discussion. Could his past success in the bullpen give him an edge as he takes on this new challenge? Or do you think the pressure of closing games is too much for a player who has primarily been a starter?

Let’s also consider the broader implications for teams looking to bolster their bullpens. With the increasing trend of teams utilizing pitchers in unconventional ways, could we see more veterans making similar moves?

What are your bold predictions for Lynn if he does make this switch? Will he thrive in the ninth inning, or will it be a struggle? Share your thoughts, experiences, and any examples of players who have successfully made similar transitions!
