Random Jack Lopez Buy

 

I threw in a random bid on this Ebay item figuring I was not likely to add too many Jack Lopez cards to my collection.  Lopez was kind of an interesting story in 2021.  The career minor leaguer was drafted by the Royals back in 2011 and spent several seasons in their system.  He then signed with the Braves organization in 2019.  He didn't play due to the COVID situation in 2020, then signed on with the Red Sox.  He was never even on the Red Sox 40 man roster, but due to the COVID outbreak among the Red Sox late in 2021, Lopez was brought to the Majors.  

Lopez ended up playing in seven games in the Majors.  He recorded just two hits, but both were doubles.  He played every game at second base, and made just one error.  Lopez hit .285 in the minors and managed to sign on with the Tigers organization after the season, but did not appear again in the Majors.  Time will tell if 2021 was Lopez's only shot.
