Seattle has not played host to the MLB ASG festivities since 2001, when the club had eight All-Stars en route to their record setting 116 wins. Additionally, clubs have often made an effort to develop the area around the stadium, an area of Seattle obviously among the most heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that at present lags well behind many cities in terms of pre/post-game activity opportunities. The Mariners have made a series of improvements and restorations around T-Mobile Park in recent years, many in aid of luring the All-Star Game. The All-Star Game for the 2022 season will be held in Los Angeles at the home of the Dodgers, giving Seattle a couple years of preparation time. For me, that's always been a dream come true, not just to make it, but to be /3OlAjMC2oE- Seattle Mariners September 14, 2021 It's one thing to make it to the big leagues, but it's another thing to be good when you make it. "It's such an honor to be a part of it," Lorenzen said. Lorenzen is the first Tigers starting pitcher to make the AL squad since Michael Fulmer in 2017. He worked out of the starting rotation for the Reds in 2015, the Angels in 2022 and the Tigers in 2023. ![]() Nicknamed "Zen Master," Lorenzen has played for the Cincinnati Reds (2015-21), Los Angeles Angels (2022) and Tigers (2023). He has a 4.12 ERA in his 327-game career, which includes 58 starts. "You wish that they'd get the credit that they deserve." "We have a few guys in here that I think are deserving of being an All-Star," Lorenzen said, mentioning Foley, Holton and Lange. The position players are led by Greene (1.6 fWAR), Jake Rogers (1.6 fWAR), Zach McKinstry (1.6 fWAR) and Akil Baddoo (0.8 fWAR). Lorenzen has produced 0.8 fWAR in his 14 outings this season, third among members of the Tigers' pitching staff behind Rodriguez (1.6 fWAR) and Foley (1.1 fWAR).

In 2023, Lorenzen has a 2-6 record with a 4.28 ERA, 20 walks (6% walk rate) and 62 strikeouts (18.6% strikeout rate) across 82 innings in 14 starts. I was like, 'I'm a mid-4, how did I make the All-Star team?' But it was awesome." This is fishy, but there is no way I made the All-Star Game, like there is absolutely no way.' And then he told me that I did. But then he was telling me when I was going to start, and I'm like, 'I didn't get traded if he's telling me when I'm going to start.' "I'm like, 'Did I get traded or something?' I think I got traded. "He tried to hide it a little bit, that he was going to break the news," Lorenzen said. Hinch called Lorenzen into his office to deliver the news. The 31-year-old right-hander will become a free agent after the 2023 season, so the Tigers are expected to trade him before the Aug.
