Javier Lopez told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle that he is "continuing the dialog" with the Giants and is no "no rush" to sign.

Lopez is drawing interest from other teams, but Schulman gets the sense that the Giants may get a crack at keeping him before he signs elsewhere. The 36-year-old southpaw posted 1.83 ERA and 37/12 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings this past season.

Lynn Henning of the Detroit News reports that the Tigers are likely to pursue Javier Lopez this offseason.

The Tigers are looking to remake the back-end of their bullpen and are also expected to have interest in Joe Smith. Lopez, 36, is coming off a brilliant 2013 campaign that saw him post a 1.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 37/12 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings. Smith was also strong this season, putting up a 2.29 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 54/23 K/BB ratio across 63 frames.

Barry Meister, the agent for Javier Lopez, said Thursday that while they've had preliminary talks with other teams, that Lopez has a desire to remain with the Giants.

While there appears to be mutual interest between the two sides, it remains to be seen if the Giants are willing to make the financial commitment required to retain the 36-year old southpaw. After posting a stellar 1.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 37/12 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings this season, he stands to earn a decent raise over the $4.25 million he made each of the past two seasons.

The Giants will not re-sign Javier Lopez before he hits free agency.

The two sides have talked, but Lopez is determined to test out the free agent waters. The left-hander earned $4.25 million each of the last two seasons and shouldn't have trouble netting a multi-year deal after putting up a 1.83 ERA in 2013.

Javier Lopez has been placed on revocable waivers, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The Giants listened to offers for Lopez around the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline and will likely listen again, but it's not a certainty that the veteran left-hander will be dealt. Lopez, 36, boasts a career-best 1.99 ERA in 31 2/3 innings of relief this season.

The Giants did not trade left-handed reliever Javier Lopez prior to Wednesday's trade deadline.

The lefty specialist would have been a nice piece for a contender. He boasts a 1.42 ERA this season. The 36-year-old is due to become a free agent this winter.

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM reports that the Tigers will not get left-handed reliever Javier Lopez from the Giants.

The Tigers have been linked to Lopez over the past few days, but apparently they have been unable to find a common ground with the Giants. The division rival Indians have also been mentioned as a potential landing spot.

The Giants internally believe that Javier Lopez will be traded today, while there's almost no chance that the club deals Tim Lincecum or Hunter Pence.

The report comes via Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The lefty specialist boasts a 1.42 ERA this season and has allowed an earned run in one of his last 33 appearances. Lopez, 36, is due to become a free agent this winter. The Indians, Tigers and several other clubs have inquired about his availability.

FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Indians have had recent trade discussions with the Giants regarding left-hander Javier Lopez.

No word on whether the club's acquisition of Marc Rzepczynski has changed things, but they could be trying to keep him away from the Tigers. Lopez is one of the better left-handed relievers in the game and should be a popular trade target leading up to Wednesday's deadline.

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Tigers are still talking to the Giants about left-hander Javier Lopez.

The Tigers have been very active over the past two days, but they might not be done yet. Lopez, 36, has a 1.42 ERA and 27/10 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings and could be a valuable piece for a contender. He is due to become a free agent this winter.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes that the Giants will "definitely" move left-handed reliever Javier Lopez.

Sherman hears that the Indians are interested in Lopez while CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reported late Monday that the Tigers are "among the many teams" that have inquired about the southpaw. The 36-year-old has a 1.42 ERA and 27/10 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings this season. He is due to become a free agent this winter.

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Tigers are "among the many teams" that have inquired about Javier Lopez.

This jibes with what FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reported earlier. The Tigers have also previously talked with the Giants about Tim Lincecum, but Knobler says it's "very unlikely" the right-hander is traded.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that "multiple teams" are interested in Javier Lopez.

It's no surprise, as the lefty specialist boasts a 1.42 ERA this season and has allowed an earned run in one of his last 33 appearances. The Giants are sitting at 11 games under .500 and nine games out of first place, so they could decide to be sellers at the deadline.

Javier Lopez earned his third hold in Saturday's game against the Braves.

Lopez retired both batters he faced, striking out one. The left-handed specialist has a splendid 1.62 ERA, but has only logged 16 2/3 innings over 28 appearances. He'll continue to be deployed based on matchups.

Javier Lopez (hand) is slated to make his Cactus League debut Friday.

That's if the game isn't washed away by rain. Lopez has been sidelined since suffering a bruise on his pitching hand when he was hit by a comebacker on February 19.

Javier Lopez (hand) threw a bullpen session Thursday with no issues.

He'll throw another one Saturday. Lopez isn't sure when he'll be ready for game action, but it shouldn't be long. The lefty has been out since getting hit on the left hand by a comebacker.

Javier Lopez underwent X-rays on his left hand which ruled out a fracture.

Lopez was hit in the hand with a ball Tuesday because of a short-hop throw, but he managed to walk away with just a contusion. The Giants figure to be extra careful since it's his throwing hand, but he should be able to resume throwing soon.

Javier Lopez left the field Monday after a ball hit his left hand and deflected up and hit his face.

The injury occurred on short-hop throw. It doesn't sound like a major concern, but the Giants are examining him just to be sure. The 35-year-old southpaw had a 2.50 ERA and 28/14 K/BB ratio over 36 innings last season and projects to serve as an important late-inning arm again in 2013.

Javier Lopez has opted against participating for Puerto Rico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Lopez, who previously played in the World Baseball Classic in 2009, was listed on Puerto Rico's preliminary roster when it was first announced last month. However, the 35-year-old southpaw has decided to stay in spring training with the Giants and focus on getting ready for the regular season.

Javier Lopez retired all four batters he faced Friday to earn his fourth save versus the Braves.

Now this is different. In fact, he faced as many batters tonight as he did total in his first three saves. Lopez entered the night with a .436 average against versus righties, so he's not going to getting save chances like this with any frequency; his remaining saves figure to be of the one- and two-out variety. Things lined up great for him tonight, though; the only right-handed he had to face was switch-hitter Chipper Jones.
