As a team that prefers to either draft and develop or acquire players via trade and sign them to extension, the Braves don’t typically get too involved in the free agency market, where players are often overvalued from a salary standpoint and being paid for what they’ve done in the past, not what they will do going forward.

López tied for third place with one vote out of the two dozen cast; only two players, Chicago Cubs starter Shota Imanaga and Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani received more than one vote in the poll. López, 30, signed a three-year, $30M deal early in the offseason. He’s earning only $4M this season before that increases to $11M in both 2025 and 2026. The team also holds a $8M team option for 2027, his age 33 season, with a $4M buyout due to López if the team does not pick up the option.

Atlanta announced soon after the signing that López was converting to the rotation, a move that’s been spectacular. Across his first six starts, López has allowed only six earned runs, not allowing more than one run in any single game until the season’s fifth outing. His 1.53 ERA would be good for 2nd among starters were he to have enough innings to qualify; MLB leaderboards require one inning pitcher per team game, so 162 for a season and 38 right now; López has 35.
