LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on Major League Baseball’s winter meetings (all times local):

10:57 a.m.

A person with direct knowledge of the agreement says free agent right-hander Lance Lynn and the Texas Rangers have reached a deal on a $30 million, three-year contract.

The deal is pending a physical, says the person, who was speaking on condition of anonymity because the contract isn’t complete.

The 31-year-old Lynn has double-digit wins in all six seasons he has been a regular starter since after his rookie year of 2011. He went 10-10 with a 4.77 ERA in 31 appearances with 29 starts in 2018 pitching for the Twins and Yankees.

Claudio is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time this winter.

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto was taken to a hospital “out of an abundance of caution,” according to the team, after he fell ill during the winter meetings in Las Vegas.

The Mariners said Thursday that team officials took him to a local hospital on Wednesday to be checked out after he was not feeling well. No other information was provided about his condition.

Despite being sick, Dipoto was still able to pull off a trade during the meetings, sending Carlos Santana to Cleveland in exchange for Edwin Encarnacion on Thursday.

The swap came Thursday at the close of the winter meetings.
