Former All-Star pitcher Michael Lorenzen is headed to the National League West. Lorenzen, who just turned 34 years old on Sunday, has agreed on a contract with the Colorado Rockies, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
“Right-hander Michael Lorenzen and the Colorado Rockies are in agreement on a one-year, $8 million contract that includes a club option, sources tell ESPN. Lorenzen, 34, will be a starter for Colorado, which holds a $9 million option for the 2027 season,” Passan wrote in a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
Lorenzen, who suited up for the Kansas City Royals in the previous two seasons, becomes the first notable signing by the Rockies under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta.
