FRIDAY, 4:32pm: Rubin reports that Lopez has cleared waivers and will return to Mets' camp as a non-roster invitee.
WEDNESDAY, 3:48pm: The Mets designated lefty Arturo Lopez for assignment to make room for Rod Barajas, tweets Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News. Lopez, 27, posted a 3.82 ERA, 6.2 K/9, and 3.8 BB/9 while allowing just one home run in 61.3 Triple A innings last year. The Mets had claimed Lopez off waivers from the Padres in June.
Good bye Arturo Lopez. May you see much greener pastures.
Good thing they dumped pitching. You can never have enough backup catchers, so valuable
A lefty reliever with above-average AAA numbers? Isn’t that what they’re looking for to compete for the Major League ‘pen?
I liked what I saw, until I got to that BB/9 stat. Still would like the O’s to pick him up
good now the mets shall go pickup Beimel on a minor league deal “900K” plus incenctives
