Right-hander Michael Lorenzen has agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The deal includes a $9 million club option for the 2027 season. The person spoke Wednesday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement was pending a physical.
Lorenzen, who turned 34 on Sunday, pitched for Kansas City last year, going 7-11 with a 4.64 ERA in 26 starts and one relief appearance. He struck out a career-high 127 in 141 2/3 innings, but also tied for the major league lead with 12 wild pitches.
