"Manager Dave Martinez expressed his displeasure with López getting flustered by an umpire's strike zone, indicating performance wasn't his only issue."
"Despite a strong 2.03 ERA with the Cubs after being picked up post-Mets release, López struggled with a 6.57 ERA and mental health challenges."
Jorge López has been released by the Nationals after clearing unconditional waivers, becoming a free agent. Originally designated for assignment, López’s performance issues and behavioral problems on the field contributed to this outcome. Despite a previously strong showing with the Cubs and his notable ground ball and walk rates, his 6.57 ERA this season has been unsatisfactory. Additionally, personal off-field challenges related to his son's health may have compounded his struggles on the mound.
