Lopez has played parts of 11 major league seasons, four times racking up ~200 innings. He is certainly bad, but to his credit he has managed to make a career of it. $12 million in estimated career earnings isn't too shabby either. But yes he is bad.

Agreed. He'd be a perfect fit on the 2000 Cubs.

Im guessing he'll wind up back at AAA Iowa.

Cubs.com says we did this to make room for Bowden. Wouldn't Bowden be taking Byrd's spot on the roster? Was there a move somewhere in there that i missed?

Campana was called up to replace Dempster.

 

Wells was called up to replace Byrd.

I thought both were already on the 40 man roster?

Lopez was DFA'd to make room on the 25 and 40 man roster for Bowden.

And Lopez cleared waivers.

 

Rodrigo Lopez cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Iowa, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com tweets. The Cubs designated the veteran right-hander for assignment yesterday.
