Phillies Sign Rodrigo Lopez
SATURDAY, 10:27am: Troy Renck has the contract details: Lopez will earn $650K if he makes the team. He can opt out June 15 if he's not on the major league roster.
WEDNESDAY: According to SI.com's Jon Heyman, the Phillies signed pitcher Rodrigo Lopez to a minor league deal.
The Rockies acquired Lopez from the Orioles in January of 2007, but he was diagnosed with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow in July of that year and had surgery in August. He signed a minor league deal with the Braves in August of last year, but they declined his '09 option. As far as I can tell, Lopez is represented by Scott Boras.

Not a bad signing, IMO. For pitching in Coors, he really wasn't THAT bad, even given the small sample size.

This signing doesn't surprise me. The Phillies have liked Lopez for years. This is who Burrell was traded for back in 2006; before Burrell nixed the deal of course.
