| 6/03/25 | Nationals Struggling Reliever Released Outright After Clearing Waivers. A now former Washington Nationals notable reliever is officially a free agent after clearing waivers. According to an announcement from the team, right-hander Jorge Lopez has cleared unconditional release waivers and is now a free agent. Originally arriving to Washington on a fairly significant financial commitment with a one-year deal worth $3 million, having to part with him not even halfway through the year is obviously not an optimal outcome. After designating him for assignment over the weekend, Lopez hitting the market was expected as his contract erased the possibility of anyone claiming him, and he would have had the option to reject an outright assignment.

In the end, the Nationals decided Saturday to designate him for assignment, removing him from their 40-man roster. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/washington-nat... |

| 3/25/25 | Rising Orioles Star Pitcher Has Chance To Make Major Statement in Home Opener. There's a chance he might never reach the heights in his career where he is anchoring the rotation of a top-tier World Series contender like this group should be for the next decade. Taken in the third round of the 2021 draft by the Minnesota Twins, Povich was acquired by the Orioles in a trade deadline deal that sent Jorge Lopez out of town. Since that point, the young left-hander hadn't necessarily blown anyone away in the minors with ERA numbers never getting below a 3.00, but he was a player viewed as having enough upside to earn the No. 13 ranking in this loaded farm system in 2023 and No. 9 in 2024. After beginning last year at Triple-A and still looking like he needed a bit more experience on the farm, injuries to Baltimore's pitching staff forced him into action.

| 3/12/24 | Ex-closer Jorge Lopez believes he still has the 'stuff' to be key arm in Mets bullpen. PORT ST. LUCIE — Carlos Mendoza witnessed it firsthand when he was with the Yankees. The slider. The two-seam fastball. Jorge Lopez, in 2022, was the dynamic anchor of the Orioles' bullpen, and six of his first 44 appearances — where 19 saves prompted an All-Star appearance — came against their AL East rival. But after the stretch, that version of Lopez disappeared. His ERA ballooned from 1.68 to 4.37 after Baltimore dealt him to the Twins in 2022, and the converted starter was traded once and designated for assignment twice within the past 12 months before reaching free agency for the first time. The Mets still made him their first bullpen signing of the offseason, though. Mets pitcher Jorge Source: https://nypost.com/2024/03/12/sports/jorge-lopez-b... |
