Texas Rangers right-hander Michael Lorenzen joins the rotation after a frustrating free agent market.
The right-hander who signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Texas Rangers on Friday, was frustrated by a slow-moving free agency market that he felt undervalued his talents.
“I'm grateful for this chip on my shoulder," he said. "maybe if I got the deal that I wanted, maybe I'm comfortable, and then I'm satisfied, and I'm happy about where my family's at and we're taken care of. For me, maybe it's like the quote, 'Good is the enemy of great.' I look at that, and God had more in store for me, and he wasn't going to allow comfort to get in the way of that. So I've got a pretty big chip on my shoulder.
Lorenzen, who turned 32 in January, will have a spot in the Rangers rotation when he's available. When he'll be ready, remains to be seen. Lorenzen has been throwing and working out on his own this spring, but the Rangers will want to put him through their own preparation before nailing down his first start. Lorenzen said he feels ready now, but knows the Rangers will have a plan that he'll follow.
