Lynn’s personality meshes perfectly with Sox fans. He spews profanities walking off the mound as if it’s an art form. He called himself a “big (bleep)” during a conference call, and defended Yermín Mercedes in the “unwritten rules” controversy, even while La Russa was the one on the other side of the issue. He signed a two-year, $38 million extension with an option to stay on the South Side, likely costing himself several million on the free-agent market. And he’s got a big belly, which Sox fans have always appreciated in a player.
