Detroit – Just a few hours after Matthew Boyd officially signed his one-year, $10 million deal, another veteran pitcher, this one right-handed, agreed to join the Tigers’ rotation on a similar deal.
Two sources confirmed to the News that Michael Lorenzen, who will turn 31 on Jan. 4 and has eight years of big-league experience, agreed to a one-year deal worth $8.5 million guaranteed with incentives worth another $1.5 million.
Lorenzen, a former first-round pick, spent the first seven seasons with the Reds and worked mostly out of their bullpen from 2016 through 2021.
