Nicky Lopez has agreed to a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs, which could pay him $1.5 million if he makes the team's active roster. After serving as a regular starter for the White Sox in 2024, he was outrighted from their 40-man roster and became a free agent. The White Sox indicated they no longer saw him in their future plans, especially with a projected arbitration salary of $5.1 million for 2025. Lopez's move to the Cubs marks a new chapter in his career.
Lopez, who was a consistent starter for the White Sox in 2024, signed a minor league deal with the Cubs worth $1.5MM if he makes the roster.
Transitioning from the White Sox to the Cubs demonstrates Lopez's search for a fresh start after being outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster.
