The Kansas City Royals may consider re-signing free-agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen, who had a mixed season with the Texas Rangers and the Royals. Lorenzen, known for his dual role as a pitcher and outfielder early in his career, is eyeing a two-way player status for the 2025 season, which could allow him to be an asset for teams without counting against the pitcher limit.

With new MLB rules favoring two-way players, Lorenzen's agent is negotiating with clubs to secure him the necessary plate appearances. This strategy could lead to a trade to a contender later on, making him an intriguing option for the Royals once again.
