This will be interesting to see how it goes.  

Has to be a little ego boost to know the Orioles believe in him enough to bring him back.   Maybe that and a little coaching will get him to calm down and be the guy we know he can be.

Jorge López embraces mental break (mlb.com) For anyone wondering what the issue was related to.

I think we all know that Elias didn’t acquire Lopez to improve team chemistry.  We also can be pretty sure, based on his prior tenure here, that Lopez won’t hurt the team chemistry.   He was widely re

So he’s not eligible for the postseason roster since he wasn’t here by Sep. 1, right?

Correct.

I’d have to go back and affirm this but I believe that there are exceptions that could be made for injury replacements but as it stands, without said exceptions he would not be eligible unless somehow the claim was submitted on Thursday and just made official. That part I do not know. 

Unless he was claimed and on the 40 man roster by 11:59 PM on Thursday and they took 2 days to report it, that wouldn't apply.

I thought the waiver deadline already passed. Did this happen last week without anyone finding out til now? Maybe he will get good again and we can flip him for another closer.

MLB.com has him on the 40 man, but not the active roster. But he's not in the minors and isn't injured. So he belongs to us and he just sits on the 40 man for now? 

Waivers can happen at any time. There used to be a deadline, but that was removed in 2019. Now, the only deadline is for someone to be on the postseason roster (August 31st.)

 

As of now, he belongs to the team and they have not made a 26 man roster move yet.

What can’t happen now are trades involving players on waivers post 7/31.  If a waived player gets claimed, he’s gone with no compensation to the waiving team other than relief of that player’s salary.

You are right, sir. I just reread the rules. Unless they put in the claim on Thursday and it wasn’t announced until today (which could be the case I suppose) JL will be ineligible for the postseason.

Weren't there loopholes with injuries and post-9/1 callups?  Is Lopez completely blocked from postseason play even in an injury situation?

Again, as stated above, he would of had to be in the organization before September 1st. So Lopez is NOT eligible, at all.

Anyone else can be used as an injury or "injury" replacement, meaning someone like Means, or another pitcher or position player.

Yea he’s blocked. He can’t be on the postseason roster and since he isn’t likely to help this year, it really is a bit of a head scratching move unless there is something small they see that can fix him or they think they can get him to go to AAA, fix him down there and then sign him for cheap in 2024..they likely could have signed him cheaply in 2024, so there must have been something they see.

It could be as simple as his new pitching coaches getting him away from what the guys here helped him to develop. Every team has their own approach, they might think they can get him back to helping them down the stretch.

I bet we try to put him back through waivers and see if we can pass him through to get him in Norfolk first.  No one claimed him first time so good chance we can pass him through as only Braves didn’t get a chance to claim him.  

The Braves did get a chance to claim him but turned it down. Every NL team gets a chance before any AL team since he was on a NL team. So the Orioles were the last club to get a shot at him.

I think they changed that rule a few years ago and now the waiver order is just based on record and it doesn't matter what league a team is in.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
