Lopez signed a minor league contract with the Blue Jays on Friday that includes an invite to spring training, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.
Lopez pitched most of 2014 with Triple-A Colorado Springs, posting a 4.57 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 43.1 innings. He had a disappointing two seasons in the Rockies organization after a couple good seasons in Houston. Part of the decline could be contributed to playing in the high elevation in Colorado, but he will need to prove himself in spring training to get a shot at a bullpen spot with Toronto, another hitter's ballpark.
