While they’ve been extremely active with minor league signings and waiver claims, the Mets finally made their first major league addition to the bullpen, signing Jorge Lopez to a one-year, $2 million deal. A former top prospect with the Brewers during the middle of the last decade (yes, you’re old) who made the All-Star Game in 2022, Lopez will be looking to rebound in middle relief for the Mets after a poor 2023.
Lopez’s career before 2022 was a disaster, with an ERA over five (and most of the time over 6) in every major league season in which he received any notable playing time.
