A "meh" case for Michael Lorenzen

[Second Base]

Michael Lorenzen is the 2022 pitching version of Nava-Gentry, for those of you that have been fans that long. 

In the middle of a sale, I'd expect a lot of Nava-Gentry moves. Like signing Phil Nevin to a one year extension.

I think an interesting question is, if you knew Lorenzen was to repeat his 2022 season next year, would you want him back, and how much would you pay him?

I want him back. Anywhere between 5 and 10 million. He was useful, and that’s all we really need from him.

I'm happy to be wrong about this, but I'm still guessing that the budget for free agents this off-season will be around $20-30M (unless they decide to actively cut the payroll from this season's level).  It seems like I'm in the minority here, but I just don't think committing potentially half of the available free agent budget to Lorenzen would be a good idea.
