SHOCKING: Joining Mets was the worst decision of my career.

Jorge Lopez has found a new MLB home after an uneventful conclusion to his tenure with the New York Mets in 2024.

Will Sammon and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic revealed on X that Lopez has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs:

The Mets originally signed Lopez in Dec. of 2023. He played in 28 games for them this year, eight of which he finished. In that span, the 2022 All-Star went 1-2 with two saves behind a 3.76 ERA.

Despite his play, the Mets let him go after he let his emotions out in their 10-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 29. The 31-year-old was incensed over a check swing call that didn’t go his way. He got into it with the umpire who made the call and then threw his glove into the stands before storming off the field. Lopez also voiced unpleasantries after the game which exacerbated the stain he put to his name with the franchise.
