The New York Mets are in need of bolstering their starting rotation due to the absence of Kodai Senga, whose return date remains uncertain. Despite offseason improvements, Senga’s absence poses a significant challenge to the team’s depth.
While there are still options available in free agency, one potential candidate is Michael Lorenzen, a former All-Star seeking a two-year contract valued at around $20 million.
Lorenzen, who shifted from relief to starting pitching in 2022, had a solid performance with the Detroit Tigers in 2023 before struggling after joining the Philadelphia Phillies. However, his age and reasonable contract demands align with the Mets’ strategy of acquiring players with potential at affordable rates.
