The San Diego Padres sign reliever Brent Honeywell Jr. to a minor league deal in a late-season roster move. Both outlets report the signing comes after Honeywell’s notable postseason run with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he had an impact during the 2024 World Series.
In 2024, Honeywell appears for the Dodgers in the World Series and pitches in Game 4. One report describes his World Series usage in terms of slowing the opponent’s rally, while noting he allowed five runs in the eighth inning. Yahoo also notes Honeywell has prior ties to San Diego, including a brief stint with the Padres during the 2023 season.
Taken together, the coverage frames the move as a return opportunity for Honeywell with the Padres after a World Series appearance and a previously brief association with the organization. The reports do not provide details on a major-league call-up timeline or specific role expectations beyond the minor league contract.
