Mets Releasing Jorge Lopez

     The New York Mets are releasing relief pitcher Jorge Lopez. He was designated for assignment by the club last week after making derogatory comments about the team. 

     Lopez was once with the Miami Marlins last year. He had a 2-0 record and a 9.26 earned run average in 12 relief appearances with the Fish. He finished the 2023 campaign with the Baltimore Orioles.
