Eligibility
Free-agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen has signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Texas Rangers.

The deal also includes $2.5 million worth of incentives to bring the potential total of the pact to $7 million. The right-hander tossed a 3.58 ERA in 18 starts with the Tigers in 2023 but scuffled despite throwing a no-hitter upon a trade to the Phillies where he posted a 5.51 ERA across 11 appearances, the final four of which came out of the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact
