The Atlanta Braves added another right-handed power arm to their mix Monday with the addition of Reynaldo López on a three-year, $26 million deal. The deal is backloaded and also includes an $8 million option for a fourth season that also has a $4 million buyout.
Lopez appeared in 68 games out of the bullpen in 2023 for the White Sox, Angels and Guardians and posted a 3.27 ERA and a 3.91 FIP to go along with a 29.9% strikeout rate. Despite his recent success as a reliever, Lopez came to the majors as a starter and has 97 starts in his career.
