Reynaldo López and Matt Moore joined the Guardians on Friday for a September run at the postseason.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Guardians manager Terry Francona went to sleep Wednesday night with the idea that Cleveland’s front office might acquire a player or two from the group of waiver possibilities available from Los Angeles and a handful of other teams. By the time he got to the ballpark on Thursday’s off day, he learned president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti and general manager Mike Chernoff had grabbed one, and then some.
“We still have an uphill fight, which we know, but they’re trying to give us a better chance, which I think everybody appreciates,” Francona said. López, 29, has a reputation as one of the hardest throwers in the big leagues, averaging 98.4 mph on fastballs this year. Command has been an issue for the right-hander this season with a 12.6% walk rate, the highest of his career. But López is striking out 29.8% of the batters he’s faced in 2023 with a swing-and-miss rate of 14.1%.
