Mets Sign Jorge Lopez to One-Year Contract

The move is part of the Mets' ongoing efforts to bolster their bullpen following a disappointing season.

Right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez has agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the New York Mets.
Lopez, who struggled with three teams in 2023, is expected to bolster the Mets' bullpen depth.
The Mets have been actively strengthening their organization, signing several players to minor league deals and guaranteeing $13 million to starter Luis Severino.
Lopez's performance peaked in 2022 with a 2.54 ERA, but regressed in 2023 with a 5.95 ERA across 59 innings with the Twins, Marlins, and Orioles.
The Mets continue to seek additional pitching, with Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto being a clear target.
