Chicago Cubs Sign Jorge López After Controversial Exit from Mets

The veteran reliever joins the Cubs on a minor league deal following a tumultuous end to his time in New York.

Jorge López was released by the Mets after an ejection and glove-throwing incident during a game against the Dodgers.
López's postgame comments were misunderstood due to language barriers, contributing to his release.
He has signed a minor league contract with the Cubs and will start with their Triple-A affiliate.
López has a 3.76 ERA over 28 appearances this season and was an All-Star in 2022.
The Cubs' bullpen struggles have created an opportunity for López to potentially return to the majors.
