López’s MLB Career

López spent the first two seasons of his MLB career (2021-22) with the Toronto Blue Jays.
He appeared in just nine games over that tenure.
The Marlins claimed the 27-year-old off waivers in 2024.
They wrote (via X) on April 4, 2024: “The Miami Marlins today claimed INF Otto López off waivers from San Francisco and transferred RHP Eury Pérez to the 60-day IL.”
There is good reason to believe that López will make his first career MLB All-Star Game this season.
He has been an incredible addition to the Marlins (who deserve a lot of credit for claiming him).
