Former Phillies Pitcher Viewed as Option for Minnesota Twins

Michael Lorenzen: Glass of water from forehead to floor without hands

A former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher is viewed as an option for the Minnesota Twins.

The Philadelphia Phillies roster looks set heading into the season. Unless they make another marginal move, they should enter the year with much of the same roster from 2023.

If it wasn’t for blowing a 3-2 lead in the NLCS, the Phillies would’ve at least had back-to-back World Series appearances. Dave Dombrowski has clearly put together a roster that can win it all and now it’s time for the team to go out there and finish the job.

One player that won’t be with the team is Michael Lorenzen.

The starter was acquired before the deadline from the Detroit Tigers. He was named an All-Star with the Tigers after posting a 3.58 ERA across 105 2/3 innings pitched.

He was supposed to be a sold No. 3-4 for Philadelphia, but outside of his no-hitter, he had his struggles. The right-hander posted a 5.51 ERA and was left off the Phillies’ Wild Card roster.
