Michael Lorenzen is reportedly seeking a two-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Lorenzen remains one of the top free agents left alongside Blake Snell. The market has been fairly quiet for Lorenzen with it now being reported that he is seeking a two-year deal. We are a few weeks away from the start of the season, so he'll likely look to sign with a team soon.
The San Diego Padres have reportedly expressed interest in Michael Lorenzen.
Fantasy Impact
Lorenzen has also drawn interest from the Orioles. The Twins had been interested before acquiring Anthony DeSclafani. Lorenzen should land with a team soon with Spring Training right around the corner.
Free-agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen is drawing interest from the Baltimore Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran made his first All-Star team in 2023 for the Tigers and worked to a 3.58 ERA with them in 18 starts before a trade-deadline deal to the Phillies. Although he tossed a no-hitter on Aug. 9, he scuffled to a 5.51 ERA in 11 outings, the final four of which came out of the bullpen. Baltimore remains active in the starting pitching market.
Michael Lorenzen threw a bullpen session in front of 16 interested MLB teams on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lorenzen posted a 4.18 ERA with the Tigers and Phillies last season while making the All-Star team. He shouldn't have too much of a problem landing with a team despite his market seemingly being quiet so far this offseason.
Michael Lorenzen is not on the Phillies' Wild Card series roster.
Fantasy Impact
The Phillies will carry 12 pitchers, but Lorenzen will not be one of them after a rough end to the season with a 5.51 ERA and 5.81 FIP since the beginning of August. He could still be added to a future series roster but will sit in the best-of-three series with the Marlins.
