Javier "Javy" López Torres (born November 5, 1970) is a Puerto Rican former catcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Atlanta Braves (1992–2003), Baltimore Orioles (2004–2006) and Boston Red Sox (2006).

After sharing duties with Charlie O'Brien and Eddie Pérez for four seasons, he established himself as the Braves' regular catcher in 1996.

[1] While López starred for the Braves, he very rarely caught future Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux, who was not comfortable pitching to him.

In the 2006 midseason, López was acquired by the Boston Red Sox from Baltimore in exchange for minor league outfielder Adam Stern and cash considerations.

[3] López debuted with Boston on the same day after Doug Mirabelli left the game early after an ankle injury.

In January 2007, it was reported that López reached a preliminary agreement on a $750,000, one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies,[4] but he did not play for them during the regular season.

[5] Before the 2008 season he signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training with the Atlanta Braves, in an attempt to return to the majors.
