Lopez's age began to show in 2016 after finishing the season with an ERA above 4.00 for the first time since 2009, despite being used primarily as a left-handed specialist. The 39-year-old has never been an overpowering pitcher, but his control (5.06 BB/9) and inability to keep the ball in the park (1.01 HR/9) showed his biggest weaknesses. Lopez was an unrestricted free agent, but he decided to hang up his cleats after a successful 14-year career.
