Dodgers Decline 2024 Options on Pitchers Lance Lynn, Daniel Hudson, Alex Reyes

Pitchers to receive buyouts as Lynn says goodbye to a $38 million two-year contract, Hudson, a top setup reliever, fights injury, and Reyes struggles with shoulder issue after 2021 All-Star season.

• Lance Lynn, who was 7-2 with a 4.36 ERA in 11 starts for the Dodgers, will receive a $1 million buyout instead of his $18 million salary for 2024, completing his $38 million, two-year contract.
• Daniel Hudson's option, originally worth $1 million, was declined following his injury-stricken season which ended after three appearances due to a sprained right medial collateral ligament.
• Lynn and Hudson, both 36, have had notable careers, with Lynn possessing a career record of 136-95, a 3.74 ERA in 12 major league seasons and Hudson having a record of 59-43 with a 3.79 ERA over his career.
• Alex Reyes, an All-Star in 2021, will receive a $100,000 buyout rather than a $3 million salary after missing the last two seasons due to shoulder related issues and surgeries.
• The Dodgers' decision to decline the 2024 options of these pitchers leaves the team's future pitching roster uncertain, leading to potential new signings in the off-season.
