Winds of change in Minnesota
It seems that the current project of Minnesota Twins He did not have the success expected by Management and various reports indicate that they could enter a reconstruction stage, so they would have to negotiate their main figures in exchange for prospects with which they can build a better future, and among those negotiable is López, as well as Carlos Correa, Willy Castroamong others.
Another of the reasons why the Venezuelan is an attractive piece of change is because it still has two more years of contractual control, since it signed an extension of four years and 73 million dollars with Minnesota, which began to run in 2024 and will keep it away from free agency until the 2028 season.
