Padres Reunite With Pitcher Amid Playoff Push
The San Diego Padres have added to their pitching depth, as they have signed Brent Honeywell Jr. to a minor league deal.
The San Diego Padres have signed former pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. to a minor league contract, according to Yahoo Sports. Honeywell, a right-handed pitcher, spent the majority of the 2023 season with the Padres. During his time with them, he had a 2-4 record, 42 strikeouts, and a 4.05 ERA in 36 games. However, Honeywell has not pitched at the major league level since 2024, when he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He now hopes to earn a call-up from the Padres as they push for a playoff spot. Over his three-year MLB career, Honeywell has a 3-5 record, 67 strikeouts, and a 4.10 ERA in 63 career games. He also won the World Series with the Dodgers in 2024. It remains to be seen if Honeywell can make the Padres' roster before the season concludes, but there is no significant risk for the Padres in giving him a chance during this final push.
