Mets' Richard Lovelady: Re-signs with Mets
The Mets signed Lovelady to a one-year, major-league contract Sunday.
The left-hander elected free agency Friday after being designated for assignment by New York, but he quickly re-signed with the organization. Lovelady gave up two runs over 1.2 innings during his lone appearance with the Mets and also surrendered four runs across 1.2 frames during a stint with the Blue Jays at the start of the season. The Mets designated left-hander Colin Poche for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Lovelady.

Lovelady opted out of his minor-league contract with the Twins last week and now joins the Mets' big-league roster. The lefty reliever allowed four runs over 1.2 innings earlier this season with the Blue Jays but collected a 1.31 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Triple-A St. Paul.

Richard Lovelady: Opts out of MiLB deal with Twins
The Twins released Lovelady on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Lovelady exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, evidently after being informed he would not be called up in spite of a 1.31 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Triple-A St. Paul. The lefty reliever should be able to find a gig in a new organization in short order, although it's not a given that he'll receive a major-league contract.

Twins' Richard Lovelady: Minor-league deal with Minnesota
Lovelady signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota on Tuesday and will join Triple-A St. Paul.
Lovelady made two appearances for the Blue Jays earlier this season before he was designated for assignment and later elected to become a free agent. He'll add middle-relief depth at Triple-A for the Twins. Lovelady posted a 4.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 34.1 innings between the Cubs and Rays in 2024.

Richard Lovelady: Headed to free agency

Blue Jays' Richard Lovelady: Booted off 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Lovelady for assignment Sunday.
Lovelady attended spring training as a non-roster invitee and was able to win a spot in Toronto's Opening Day bullpen, but his stay with the big club didn't last long. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster and in the bullpen to lefty Mason Fluharty, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Lovelady's dismissal comes after he gave up four earned runs on two hits, two walks and three hit batsmen over 1.2 innings between his first two relief appearances of the season.

Blue Jays' Richard Lovelady: Added to 40-man roster
The Blue Jays selected Lovelady's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Manager John Schneider said Monday that Lovelady is still competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but the Blue Jays elected to go ahead and add him to their 40-man roster now, likely due to an opt-out in the reliever's minor-league contract. Lovelady does not have minor-league options left, so he would need to go through waivers first if the club wanted to send him to Buffalo. The southpaw has allowed five runs (four earned) with an 8:3 K:BB in seven innings this spring.

Richard Lovelady: Non-tendered by Tampa Bay
The Rays non-tendered Lovelady on Friday.

Rays' Richard Lovelady: Secures second save
Lovelady pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save over the Guardians on Thursday.
Lovelady relieved Manuel Rodriguez to open the bottom of the ninth and managed to retire the side in order on just six pitches to lock down his second save of the campaign. It was a nice bounceback performance for the southpaw after he surrendered two runs and took the loss in his previous outing Tuesday. It also marked Lovelady's first save opportunity since Aug. 17 against the Diamondbacks, and he's now held opponents scoreless in six of his last seven relief appearances.

Rays' Richard Lovelady: Four-out save
Lovelady didn't allow a baserunner across 1.1 scoreless innings to pick up the save Saturday against Arizona.
Manuel Rodriguez began the eighth inning with a 6-1 lead but loaded the bases with two outs. Lovelady was called in to get out of the jam and induced a groundout against lefty Corbin Carroll to end the frame. He then remained in the contest and completed a clean ninth inning to unconventionally earn his second career save. Pete Fairbanks remains the primary closer for the Rays.
