  • BCB After Dark: Why did the Cubs sign Nicky Lopez?


    Welcome to your end of the weekend, heading into the work week coffee shop where we’ve got whatever you’re looking for tonight we’ve got you covered. If you’d like a warm chai tea to get your evening going, we can do that. If you’re looking for a shot of something a little stronger, we can do that too.

    One housekeeping note, Last weekend we made the accidental decision to move BCB After Dark from it’s Friday night into Saturday AM home to it’s Sunday night into Monday AM home. It went pretty well and we thought we’d try it out living here for a bit. You’ll still get two late week, late night posts — just one on a different night.

    And once again we’ve been rewarded for that decision with actual news to talk about: the most Hoyer of Hoyerish signings, a light hitting utility guy [link to Bluesky]:

    I need a musical break.

    I couldn’t get this one out of my head earlier and figured I’d just share it here tonight:

    Many of you know my day job is in competitive debate and for year’s I’d heard speculation that this song is about competitive debate. There are lots of lines that suggest it might be:

    Six o’clock, T.V. hour, don’t get caught in foreign tower
    Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
    Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
    Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
    Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
    Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
    This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
    A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
    Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

    It’s the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
    I feel fine (I feel fine)

    I bring this up mainly because I went to look it up for the umpteenth time a couple of years ago and realized that Michael Stipe had given an interview where he definitively said the song was not about competitive debate:

    Garrison Lovely: “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” is one of R.E.M.’s most popular songs. It’s one of my favorites as well. There’s some speculation online that the song is about policy debate.

    Michael Stipe: Those rumors are untrue. The important part of the title is “as we know it.” That’s where we find ourselves now. The current vice president described this political moment as an inflection point, which is not quite accurate. But we’re absolutely at a middle ground between two epochs that will forever be considered the before and after.

    And I don’t know that we as a country are moving in the right direction. There are certainly things about who we are that are absolutely beautiful. But, these days, you have to really search to find them.

    The truth seems important.

    Anyway, back to the truth of the Cubs roster.

    Yes, this is the same team that already employs Gage Workman, Benjamin Cowles, Vidal Bruján and Jon Berti. The team that DFA’d Luis Vazquez for Berti last week. Why on Earth does this team need a minor league deal with Nicky Lopez?

    I’m sure someone is already firing up the word “insurance” in the comments, and man, I guess. He’s a reasonable defender and the 77 wRC+ he put up last season means he’ll fit right in with the other five guys who look just like him on the roster.

    But is there some reason the Cubs need five guys between the MLB roster and James Triantos? I am more interested in seeing what Triantos can do than literally any of the guys I named above. But not the Cubs. The Cubs are like we need to backstop Hoerner with Berti and Berti with Bruján and Bruján with Workman and Workman with Cowles and Cowles with Lopez and then, if we really have to, Triantos can have a shot.

    What is this madness? Is there really any difference between any of these guys except maybe age (which is why DFA’ing Vazquez was questionable at best, but I digress). Why are the Cubs always rearranging utility guys on the Titanic?

    Have at it in the comments. Don’t forget to bus your own tables, I’d hate to leave a mess for Josh tomorrow.

    The Chicago Cubs made waves in the baseball world today by signing infielder Nicky Lopez to a multi-year deal. This move has left many fans scratching their heads and wondering why the Cubs would make such a move. In this edition of BCB After Dark, we explore the reasons behind this surprising signing.

    One possible reason for the Cubs signing Lopez could be his strong defensive abilities. Lopez is known for his slick fielding skills and could provide solid defense at multiple infield positions. With the Cubs looking to improve their defense, Lopez could be a valuable asset in that regard.

    Another reason for the signing could be Lopez’s versatility. He has experience playing both second base and shortstop, which could give the Cubs some flexibility in their lineup. With injuries and slumps being common in baseball, having a player like Lopez who can play multiple positions could prove to be a valuable asset.

    Additionally, Lopez has shown flashes of potential at the plate. While he may not be a power hitter, Lopez has shown an ability to make contact and get on base. With the Cubs looking to add depth to their lineup, Lopez could be a solid addition in that regard.

    Overall, while the signing of Nicky Lopez may have come as a surprise to many, there are several reasons why the Cubs may have made this move. Only time will tell if this signing pays off, but for now, it’s certainly an interesting development to keep an eye on.

  • Cubs, Nicky Lopez agree on Minor League deal (source)


    The Cubs have agreed to a Minor League deal with free-agent infielder , a source told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the move.

    Lopez, who will turn 30 on March 13, spent last season playing second base and shortstop for the crosstown White Sox. The Naperville, Ill., native batted .241 with a .606 OPS across 445 plate appearances and owns a .626 OPS across six big league seasons split between the Royals, Braves and White Sox.

    Lopez could play a vital role early in the year with second baseman Nico Hoerner’s status for Opening Day unclear after he underwent flexor tendon surgery on his right forearm on Oct. 11.

    The Cubs begin their 2025 regular season in Tokyo, Japan, against the Dodgers on March 18.



    The Chicago Cubs and infielder Nicky Lopez have reached an agreement on a Minor League deal, according to sources. Lopez, who was previously with the Kansas City Royals, is looking to make an impact with the Cubs organization and earn a spot on the big league roster.

    The 27-year-old infielder has shown promise during his time with the Royals, hitting .300 in 68 games last season. Lopez is known for his defensive abilities at second base and shortstop, making him a valuable asset for the Cubs as they look to bolster their infield depth.

    With this Minor League deal, Lopez will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in Spring Training and earn a spot on the Cubs’ roster for the upcoming season. Cubs fans are excited to see what Lopez can bring to the team and are hopeful that he can make a significant contribution to the club’s success.

    Stay tuned for more updates on Nicky Lopez and his journey with the Chicago Cubs as he works towards earning a spot on the big league roster.

  • Report: Cubs sign infielder Nicky Lopez to minor league deal


    A former White Sox infielder is heading to the North Side.

    According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, Nicky Lopez has signed a deal with the Chicago Cubs. The agreement is a minor league contract, ESPN’s Jesse Rogers later followed up.

    Lopez, who turns 30 in March, was one of five players traded to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Aaron Bummer last November. Never known for his bat, the Naperville hit .241/.312/.294 with a 77 wRC+ and 0.9 fWAR in 445 plate appearances this season. As in the past, Lopez made up for that lack of production in the field.

    The Naperville native was named a Gold Glove Award finalist for AL second baseman last month. In 640.1 innings at the position, Lopez logged a .989 fielding percentage, -1 defensive runs saved, four outs above average, and a 1.4 on the SABR Defensive Index. These stats didn’t stack up favorably for Lopez, as Cleveland’s Andres Giménez ultimately took home the hardware.

    The last White Sox second baseman to win a Gold Glove Award was Yolmer Sanchez back in 2019. Funny enough, the fan-favorite was outrighted shortly after when the White Sox did not offer him the $6.2 million he was projected in his final year of arbitration. Lopez was estimated to earn $5.1 million in arbitration this year, which was always unlikely to be matched with the team looking to cut payroll and already having infield options in both Brooks Baldwin and Lenyn Sosa.

    The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal, according to a recent report.

    Lopez, 26, spent the past three seasons with the Kansas City Royals, where he appeared in 137 games and posted a .273 batting average. The versatile infielder has primarily played second base and shortstop but has also seen time at third base and in the outfield.

    The Cubs are likely hoping that Lopez can provide depth and versatility in their infield, as well as potentially compete for a spot on the major league roster. Lopez will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in spring training and earn a spot with the team.

    Stay tuned for more updates on Nicky Lopez and the Cubs as the offseason progresses.

  • Chicago Cubs Reportedly Signing Infielder Nicky Lopez


    When the Cubs let Luis Vazquez go last week, I wondered if they would try to replace him at Triple-A with a veteran defensive-first middle-infielder, just to have a little extra depth. Sure enough, they are: per Jon Heyman and Jesse Rogers, the Cubs are signing former White Sox infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal.

    Outside of one monster (BABIP-fueled) season, Lopez is a glove-only, plus-defensive depth type:

    Lopez, 29, can play anywhere on the infield, and historically has been very good at all spots (outside of a very down year by DRS at shortstop last year). He is the type of guy you are very happy to have at Triple-A juuuuuuust in case, but who you probably don’t want to guarantee a bench job at this point.

    I suspect Lopez will have a chance to win a bench job in Spring Training, mind you, and he may have an opt-out in his deal if he doesn’t win that job. Ideally, though, he starts the season at Iowa, and is there in case of a serious injury issue. He wouldn’t necessarily kill you as a starter if necessary, but his good defensive value wouldn’t entirely make up for the 20+% below-average bat. And on a team that has Dansby Swanson at shortstop and Nico Hoerner at second base, it’s not like you’d need to keep Lopez on the bench as a late-inning defensive replacement.

    That is all to say, you can expect Lopez to just be a depth guy at this point. But he’ll be there in Spring Training, competing alongside Gage Workman, Vidal Brujan, and Jon Berti to be the primary guy at third base if/when Matt Shaw isn’t quite ready.



    According to multiple sources, the Chicago Cubs are set to sign infielder Nicky Lopez to a contract. Lopez, who most recently played for the Kansas City Royals, is known for his strong defensive skills and contact hitting ability.

    The addition of Lopez to the Cubs’ roster is expected to bolster their infield depth and provide a steady presence in the middle infield. With his versatility to play both second base and shortstop, Lopez could potentially fill in at multiple positions and provide valuable defensive support.

    While the details of the contract have not been officially announced yet, Lopez’s signing is seen as a promising move for the Cubs as they look to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.

    Stay tuned for more updates as the deal is finalized and Lopez officially joins the Chicago Cubs organization.

  • Plano Deportivo El día que Messi, Suárez y Neymar exhibieron a Pau López



    Pau López, quien podría reforzar la portería de Toluca tras la salida de Tiago Volpi, vivió uno de los momentos más difíciles de su carrera ante Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez y Neymar durante su etapa en el Espanyol de Barcelona.


    En 2016, durante un derbi catalán, el arquero español protagonizó una polémica acción al pisar intencionalmente a Luis Suárez dentro del área, un hecho que pasó desapercibido para el árbitro y sus asistentes. Sin embargo, el tridente ofensivo del Barcelona no dejó pasar la oportunidad de responder en la cancha y le marcaron cinco goles en un mismo partido. Además, cada anotación estuvo acompañada de festejos burlones dirigidos al guardameta.


    Tras su paso por el Espanyol, Pau López continuó su carrera en clubes como Tottenham Hotspur, Real Betis, AS Roma y Olympique de Marsella. Actualmente, milita en el Girona, pero su nombre suena con fuerza para reforzar a los Diablos Rojos en la Liga MX.



    Plano Deportivo: El día que Messi, Suárez y Neymar exhibieron a Pau López

    En un encuentro lleno de magia y talento, Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez y Neymar se lucieron ante el portero Pau López en un partido que quedará grabado en la memoria de los aficionados al fútbol.

    El trío conocido como “MSN” demostró su poderío en el campo, combinando velocidad, precisión y habilidad para dejar sin opciones al guardameta rival. Con jugadas de ensueño, regates imposibles y goles espectaculares, Messi, Suárez y Neymar pusieron en aprietos a Pau López durante los 90 minutos del partido.

    El portero del equipo contrario tuvo que vérselas con los tres astros del Barcelona, quienes parecían estar en sintonía perfecta ese día. Cada vez que se acercaban al área rival, era sinónimo de peligro y emoción para los espectadores.

    Finalmente, el partido terminó con una victoria contundente para el Barcelona, gracias en gran parte a la brillante actuación de Messi, Suárez y Neymar. Sin duda, fue un día inolvidable en el que estos tres futbolistas exhibieron todo su talento y dejaron boquiabiertos a todos los presentes.

  • El portero Pau López deja el Girona


    Girona (España), 1 feb (EFE).- El portero Pau López, hasta ahora cedido en el Girona por el Olympique de Marsella francés, dejó de ser jugador del equipo español este sábado por la noche de forma oficial.

    Su adiós era un secreto a voces desde hacía días y de hecho el propio portero catalán de 30 años lo confirmó al acabar el partido de la Liga de Campeones del miércoles contra el Arsenal en Montilivi (1-2), en el que jugó como titular por la lesión del argentino Paulo Gazzaniga.

    Pau López, que paró un penalti en el tramo final del partido, aseguró que despedirse del club en un encuentro de la ‘Champions’ era “un sueño cumplido” para él, formado entre las categorías inferiores del Girona y el Espanyol, y “la despedida soñada” y dijo que aunque ya sabía que venía a ser suplente de Gazzaniga los últimos meses han sido “complicados” porque ha echado de menos sentirse futbolista.

    Apenas ha disputado tres partidos, todos con derrota final: contra la Unión Deportiva Logroñés en la Copa del Rey (0-0, 4-2), contra el Rayo Vallecano en LaLiga EA Sports (2-1), saliendo desde el banquillo por la lesión de Gazzaniga, y contra el Arsenal en la Liga de Campeones.

    De hecho su salida ya pudo concretarse a principios de enero porque el Marsella anunció a través de las redes sociales la cancelación del préstamo y el Lens hizo oficial su llegada con fotografías del portero catalán con la camiseta del equipo, pero el movimiento se frenó en el último momento porque el Girona no podía inscribir un nuevo portero en la Champions. De manera que en caso de lesión de Gazzaniga, como así sucedió, hubiera tenido que jugar un juvenil contra el Arsenal.

    El rol de segundo portero en el conjunto catalán pasaría ahora a manos del joven ucraniano Vladyslav Krapyvtsov (2005), un guardameta de mucho futuro que llegó con la carta de libertad a mediados de diciembre y que fue incluido en el once ideal de la última Eurocopa sub19. EFE

    asm/sab





    El portero Pau López deja el Girona

    El guardameta Pau López ha anunciado su salida del Girona después de una exitosa temporada con el club. El jugador, que llegó al equipo el año pasado, se ha convertido en una pieza clave en la defensa y ha sido fundamental en el ascenso del Girona a la primera división.

    López ha expresado su agradecimiento al club y a los aficionados por el apoyo recibido durante su estancia en el Girona. Aunque no ha revelado cuál será su próximo destino, se rumorea que varios equipos de la primera división española están interesados en fichar al guardameta.

    Los seguidores del Girona se despiden de López con tristeza, pero le desean lo mejor en su futuro y le agradecen por su dedicación y profesionalismo durante su tiempo en el club. Sin duda, dejará un gran vacío en el equipo, pero su legado perdurará en la memoria de todos los que lo han visto jugar.

  • George Lopez, February 15 | River Cities’ Reader


    Saturday, February 15, 8 p.m.

    Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center, 7077 Elmore Avenue, Davenport IA

    An artist who has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage, Grammy-nominated comedian George Lopez brings his national tour to Davenport’s Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center on February 15, the famed funnyman beloved for six seasons as the star of his eponymous ABC sitcom, which currently ranks as one of the top-rated shows on Nick at Nite.

    Born in Los Angeles in 1961, Lopez spent a number of years performing stand-up comedy before being approached by Sandra Bullock, in 2000, to produce and star in a TV comedy. Bullock was concerned about the lack of Hispanic-oriented sitcoms on American television, and pushed to get a sitcom on television that starred Hispanics without being exclusively about the Hispanic American community. Long criticized by Hispanic American groups for lack of Latinos on their television shows, ABC quickly picked up the television series, and in 2002, Lopez became one of the few Latinos to star in a television comedy series, following in the footsteps of Desi Arnaz, Freddie Prinze, and John Leguizamo. With Lopez the co-creator, writer, producer, and star George Lopez aired on ABC from 2002 to 2007, and was added to the Nick at Nite lineup in September of 2007, the show also becoming a considerable success in syndication.

    Currently, the comedian is in the third season of his NBC sitcom Lopez vs Lopez, which was created by its star alongside Mayan Lopez and Debby Wolfe. The series boasts Lopez and his real-life daughter Mayan as fictionalized versions of themselves. Among the noted Hispanic performers who have guested on the comedy over the years are Mario Lopez, Harvey Guillen, Justina Machado, Danny Trejo, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. Beyond his television work, Lopez has enjoyed a thriving film career. His HBO Films drama Real Women Have Curves, starring America Ferrera, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received the 2002 Audience Award. He also appeared in Robert Rodriguez’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D, voiced the titular Papi Cortez in Disney’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua, co-starred opposite Jackie Chan in 2010’s The Spy Next Door, and recently played Uncle Rudy Reyes in 2023’s DC Extended Universe superhero film Blue Beetle. And in addition, Lopez has enjoyed literary success, his autobiography Why You Crying (co-written by Armen Keteyian) having placed in the New York Times Bestsellers top 20.

    George Lopez brings his national tour to Davenport’s Event Center on February 15, admission to the 8 p.m. show is $51-101, and more information and tickets are available by calling (563)328-8000 and visiting RhythmCityCasino.com.

  • Conor McGregor Stops By Bucks Bench to Size Up Brook Lopez in the Middle of a Game


    Conor McGregor was on a business trip to Utah this week, but all work and no play probably makes the former UFC champion unhappy so he decided to take in a local sporting event which is how he found himself courtside as the Jazz hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

    During the second quarter McGregor was walking around court-side. His trip included walking on the floor and in front of the Bucks’ bench—both of which are probably no-no’s for normal people. Instead of hurrying to his seat as play continued after a Damian Lillard free throw, McGregor stopped, turned around and walked up to Milwaukee’s 7’1″ center Brook Lopez who was as tall seated as McGregor was standing. McGregor asked him to stand up and, well, turns out the 16-inch height difference is very noticeable.

    Since there was a basketball game going on, the braodcast went back to the action before the camera person had a chance to zoom out enough for both athletes’ heads were in the same frame.

    Lopez discussed the meeting in the locker room after the game, explaining that it went down exactly how it looked.

    “He asked me how tall I was,” said Lopez. “I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did. And I knew at that point once I got up I had had to size him up. You know, I had to do a little something. I’ve seen the face-offs before so I had to do my part.”

    Maybe if the two ever meet again they can discuss their issues wish mascots. While McGregor greeted the Jazz bear as a friend last night, he did once send the Miami Heat mascot to the hospital during the NBA Finals.

    Considering Brook Lopez’s brother Robin has a longstanding feud with mascots they must have a lot to discuss about either an escalation of force or perhaps maybe even the concept of restraint.





    Conor McGregor Stops By Bucks Bench to Size Up Brook Lopez in the Middle of a Game

    In a surprising turn of events during a recent Milwaukee Bucks game, UFC superstar Conor McGregor made a guest appearance courtside to size up Bucks center Brook Lopez. McGregor, known for his brash personality and fighting prowess, couldn’t resist the opportunity to check out the 7-footer in action.

    As Lopez dominated in the paint, McGregor could be seen nodding approvingly and exchanging a few words with the Bucks players on the bench. The Irish fighter seemed intrigued by Lopez’s size and skill, perhaps even considering a potential matchup in the octagon.

    Fans were left wondering what McGregor’s presence meant for the future of Lopez’s career, and whether a crossover into the world of MMA could be in the cards. Only time will tell if this unexpected encounter will lead to any further developments, but one thing’s for sure – McGregor’s interest in Lopez has piqued the curiosity of basketball and fighting fans alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing story.

  • Conor McGregor meets Brook Lopez on sideline during Bucks game


    Former UFC star Conor McGregor happened to be in Salt Lake City on Monday, and he wound up chatting live with Fan Duel Sports Network reporter Melanie Ricks during the broadcast of the Milwaukee Bucks’ battle with the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center.

    After the interview, McGregor also stopped by the Bucks bench and visited briefly with center Brook Lopez … all while the game was happening on the court. As Bucks point guard Damian Lillard was lining up a free throw, cameras caught McGregor shaking hands with Lopez and asking how tall Lopez was, prompting the veteran center to stand up and demonstrate his 7-footness.

    The Ultimate Fighting great McGregor happens to stand 5-feet-9-inches tall.



    Conor McGregor, the notorious MMA fighter, made a surprise appearance at the Milwaukee Bucks game last night as he met with Brook Lopez on the sideline.

    The two sports stars exchanged pleasantries and posed for photos, much to the delight of fans in attendance. McGregor, known for his trash-talking and larger-than-life personality, seemed to be in good spirits as he chatted with Lopez, who is a standout player for the Bucks.

    It’s always exciting when different worlds collide, and seeing McGregor and Lopez together at a basketball game was certainly a memorable moment. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a collaboration between the two athletes in the future. Stay tuned for more updates!
