SP trade targets you like

Since leaving the Reds, Lorenzen has been a starter with both the Angels and now Tigers. ERA has been sub-4.5 for both teams.
Tigers are 11 games under .500 and Lorenzen is only on a one-year deal for $8.5 mill.

Knowing that Lorenzen could potentially be an upgrade later in the rotation order (SP3, 4, or 5) and also obviously pitch out of the bullpen in the postseason if desired, plus already comfortable playing in CIN, is he a guy you'd want back for a postseason push this year?

I would be ok with it as long as none of Marte, CES, or Arroyo are included in such a trade. But I'd want a strong SP1/SP2 with multiple years remaining on the contract if trading away any of the guys I mentioned.

I'd be fully onboard with Lorenzen. The Weaver magic isn't going to continue, I hope it does but lets be real. And I don't have a lot of faith that Williamson is going to improve much. Who knows if Lodolo even makes it back this season?
