Michael Lorenzen reportedly agrees to one-year deal with Los Angeles Angels

At the end of the regular season, Michael Lorenzen had a couple of goals for his first trip through free agency.

Lorenzen wanted an opportunity to be a starting pitcher after a shoulder injury derailed his chance with the Cincinnati Reds this year and he preferred to play on the West Coast.

He reportedly received his wish. Lorenzen agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract with his hometown Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, pending a physical, according to a report from FanSided. The Angels use a six-man rotation with American League MVP Shohei Ohtani in a two-way role and they've been hunting starting pitching all offseason.
