The Chicago White Sox sign infielder Jose Lopez
The White Sox have signed 28-year old righty swinging infielder Jose Lopez to a minor league deal. He played in 66 games earlier this year for the Indians and he was 53 of 213 (.249 avg, .639 OPS) with 16 runs scored, 4 homers and 28 RBIs. Lopez has now played in 1,021 games in his first 9 years in the majors and he is 1,000 of 3,818 (.262 avg, .689 OPS) with 419 runs scored, 92 homers, 480 RBIs and 25 stolen bases. This was a good move for the Pale Hose as Lopez can play any position on the infield defensively except shortstop, and he has some pop in his bat.
