bWAR had Lorenzen at 2.6 in 2024, which makes him a great value sign considering every pitcher of any significance is going well over $10 million.
Also, I think Lorenzen's agency was marketing him as a two-way player this winter so a team could technically carry him as a position player and not be subject to pitcher limits. Lorenzen was scouted as a two-way player in both high school at Fullerton High and college at Cal State Fullerton. He was one of the best hitting pitchers prior to the universal DH with a career .710 OPS. He slugged four HR with a 1.043 OPS in 2018. He has 34 career MLB games in the OF, but I think it's a pipe dream. I'm curious if the Royals will let him hit in the Cactus League. |

Lorenzen coming back is a nice depth signing. Good to have a guy like that on the big league roster... someone who can work out of the pen and be effective, rotation depth if Bubic/Marsh/Wright can't nail down the spots behind Ragans/Lugo/Wacha.
Now bring me Jurickson Profar on a one-year deal, and I'm a happy, happy man.

Don't you bring that bad juju on Wright, Duncan. He's going to be a stud for us this year and why we're going to take a bigger step forward in wins. If we manifest it, it'll happen right?

The Royals actually added guys who draw walks, never thought I'd see the day.

This is hockey but Royals talked about this when they announced their TV deal.

Our organization is still fond of players drafted and developed by Atlanta.
