Assuming they didn't I agree. I am not so sure he didn't know or wasn't told. He is saying he was made aware this week. I am betting he collected his last checks and then felt he could speak out. If he said something before then he would be at risk of them terminating him early.

Lopez is odd man out
I would have preferred that they let him know last October/November, like they do with coaches and front office guys, rather than telling him 3-4 weeks before spring training was set to begin.
He signed a two year contract and it ran out and they didn't wish to sign him to a new one. Hunter is the one going out and telling people he didn't want to leave which is fine. Hunter knew this was coming when they hired all the new people. I have spent some time with Hunter and trust me he knows what he is doing. The survey that came back from Oriole ticket holders finished his fate. I have been fired and have fired a lot of people. When you don't want to be fired but the people firing you want you gone there isn't a lot of gracious ways to do it.
