The Atlanta Braves have signed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez to a 3-year, $30 million deal, with salaries of $4 million in 2024, $11 million in 2025/2026, and a $4 million buyout of a club option for 2027. Lopez will be stretched out to start in spring training, providing options for the rotation or bullpen. The Braves are looking to maximize the versatility of Lopez, who has previously had seasons with 188 and 184 innings in 2018-2019. The team will determine his role at the end of spring. The signing is part of the Braves' strategy to find rotation pieces out of the bullpen. Lopez's fastball shape and command are considered to be only okay, but the Braves are hopeful that his versatility will be an asset to the team.

I love the Reynaldo López signing, and the decision to stretch him out, but I think he will ultimately settle in a multi inning role. His fastball shape and command are only ok at best, and both of those things were mitigated by all the velo he got in short stints.

Reynaldo López will prepare as a starter this winter and the Braves will stretch him out in spring training, sources tell @TheAthletic. Team will determine role at end of spring. Lopez averaged 32 GS/186 IP for White Sox in 2018-19. Potential versatility appealed to Braves.
