9/19/24 Reliable Cubs reliever expected to leave after strong 2024 season. The Chicago Cubs have fallen out of postseason contention and now are at risk of finishing in third place in the National League Central behind both the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals. If they want to contend in 2025, they are going to have to make some key upgrades, especially with their bullpen. One key piece that has helped them this season is right-hander Jorge Lopez. Lopez was picked up after the New York Mets let him go and has performed well with the North Siders, posting a 2.19 ERA in 22 appearances.

4/30/24 Jorge Lopez turning back to sinker paying dividends early in Mets tenure. When Jeremy Hefner dug into the 2022 version of Jorge López, he noticed sinkers . A lot of them. López attributed his success that year — a 1.62 ERA when he trekked to Dodger Stadium for his lone All-Star appearance — to the grip, too. Half of his 1,161 pitches were sinkers. It buzzed across the plate at an average of 98 mph. 3 Jorge Lopez has been dominant for the Mets so far this year.

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

12/20/23 Grading the Mets' Jorge Lopez signing. 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.

3/05/23 The Twins' improved depth is already looking extremely important. The story of the 2022 Minnesota Twins centers around early overachievement by a mediocre pitching staff, some midseason regression to the mean, a pile of unfortunate injuries, and a September collapse that plummeted them to third place in the A.L. Central. Between last year's trade deadline and this offseason, the Twins front office has addressed the pitching staff in a variety of ways, acquiring bullpen help in the form of Jorge Lopez and starters Pablo Lopez and Tyler Mahle. The staff's talent level is much greater than it was even 12 months ago, with late-spring training acquisitions Emilio Pagan and Chris Paddack in the fold as well, although the former struggled mightily last year and the latter is out for several more months after Tommy John surgery. The other issue that the front office had to address is purely related to depth, and now, only a week into the Spring Training schedule, we're already starting to see why an improved depth chart was so incredibly important.
