Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn's $90,035 Ford Bronco Raptor transformed into 'Barbie mobile' for beloved daughters

Earlier this offseason, right-handed pitcher Lance Lynn signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. Lynn caught the attention of many when he arrived at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in a pink-colored Ford Raptor.

He mentioned that the color of his car was influenced by his three daughters. In an interview with Tamar Sher, the 36-year-old opened up about why his car has such an eccentric color.

“So, I have three daughters and they all love the Barbie move," Lynn said. "It turned into the Barbie-mobile pretty quick. I got a Bronco Raptor last year, it did not come pink. When I came home from the season, it was pink. And I have not driven it yet, so that's how it went down… it came out pretty good, I'm not mad at it.”

According to the company's website, the 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor can be purchased for $90,035.

The four-wheel drive that has a 10-speed automatic transmission is equipped with a 418-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces 440 pound-feet of torque. The Raptorized Bronco comes with Fox adaptive dampers from the F-150 Raptor and standard 37-inch BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires.

The car reaches 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. It gives fuel mileage of 15 mpg inside the city and 16 mpg on the highway.

Lance Lynn on his second stint with the Cardinals

This will be Lance Lynn's second stint with the Cardinals, having started his career in 2011 with the Cardinals, who drafted him in the 2008 MLB draft. Lynn discussed his second chapter with the Cardinals on Monday at the team's Winter Warm-Up event.

“Once your stint is done with a place, you think, ‘That was fun,’" said Lynn “Obviously, this was the place that gave me a chance to be a big leaguer, so it holds a place in my heart. But when you leave, you think about what’s next.

Baseball is a weird game, and it’s got a weird sense of humor. I’m coming back and [former teammate Daniel] Descalso is my bench coach, and the manager is Oli [Marmol], who I played with in Low-A and High-A. I never would have thought I’d be back in St. Louis with Descalso as my bench coach and Oli as my manager, for sure.”

Last year, Lance Lynn played with the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers, posting an ERA of 5.73 to go with a 13-11 record. He is a two-time All-Star, came in third in 2021 AL Cy Young voting and has made trips to the World Series in 2011 and 2013.
