ESPN Reports: Chicago White Sox have just brought back a dominant MLB player from overseas for their bench in a blockbuster deal worth……Read more

Reynaldo Lopez and Aaron Bummer, two former pitchers with the Chicago White Sox, have reworked their contracts with the Atlanta Braves.

These transactions were announced by the Braves on Saturday:

A two-year, $13 million deal was inked by the Atlanta Braves with left-handed pitcher Aaron Bummer today. Bummer will earn $3.5 million in 2025 and $9.5 million in 2026. The club also inked right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez to a three-year deal. Lopez is scheduled to make $8 million in 2025, $14 million in 2026, and $8 million in 2027. These accords are great for the players since they remove the club option for the 2027 season from Lopez’s original three-year deal with Atlanta last November and give him guaranteed money and job security. As a result, the Braves are able to reorganize their financial resources, which will improve their payroll condition in 2025.

Last year, the 31-year-old Bummer had a 4.33 record and a 3.58 earned run average. Last winter, the White Sox traded him to the Braves. He has a 3.79 ERA and a career record of 18-18. He was a key member of the White Sox’s seven-year (2017–2023) postseason run in 2020 and 2021.

Lopez, on the other hand, had a fantastic season after moving from the bullpen to the starting lineup in Atlanta. He had a 1.99 ERA and an 8-5 record. Throughout his nine years in the MLB, Lopez has suited up for a number of teams, including the Nationals, White Sox, Angels, Cleveland Guardians, and Braves. Last year, he was selected to play in the All-Star Game. Over seven years with the White Sox, he had a record of 33–44.
