It wasn't long ago that Javy Lopez was smashing 43 bombs en route to an All-Star game and 5th place finish in the NL MVP race. More recently than that, Javy signed a three-year $22.5 million free-agent deal with the Orioles. And even more recently, the Rockies signed Lopez to a one-year $750k deal in hopes for a flashback to '03. But baseball GMs should be alerted that Javy Lopez is now available after getting red-tagged on Monday
Catcher Javy Lopez's brief tenure with the Rockies ended this morning when he was released by the club. The three-time all-star with Atlanta came into spring training hoping to compete for a starting job, but the rapid development of rookie catcher Chris Iannetta meant there was no room for the 36-year-old Lopez.
So what's next for the catcher who's fallen so far?
"The only place I would play backup would be in Atlanta, because that's my home," he said. "I don't want to play as a DH (designated hitter), I'm not a DH player. I don't think I'll go anywhere else as a backup. If I am not an everyday catcher, I'd rather not play this year and retire."
Dude, the DH was invented for guys like you, why fight it?
