Ben Badler reported a few weeks ago that the Pirates made this signing in September, but had to wait for him to get his visa. I assume Langosch reporting it now means it's gone through. UPDATE by Charlie: Vlad did some digging on this last month. Lopez was apparently signed for $600,000, so this is a fairly major signing.
