The Padres have signed left-hander to a minor league deal, per . The southpaw will presumably receive an invitation to Spring Training and compete for a roster spot. Carpenter, 33, has a small amount of Robert Woodard II Jersey major league experience, having pitched for the Tigers in 2018 and 2019. He made 15 appearances, including 14 starts, logging 63 innings over those two seasons. Unfortunately, he allowed 8.57 earned runs per nine innings in that small sample and hasnt been back to the big leagues since. The lefty signed with the Rakuten Monkeys of the Chinese Profe sional Baseball League in Taiwan for 2020 and had a solid season for them. He to sed 157 1/3 innings over 26 appearances with an ERA of 4.00. That led to a deal with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization, which is generally considered to be a stronger league than the CPBL. He to sed 170 frames for the Eagles in 2021 with an ERA of 3.97. Carpenter returned to the Eagles for 2022 but wasnt able to make much impact, making just four appearances. He was a couple of months into that season with reports of elbow sorene s. Public details on what followed from there are sparse but he didnt pitch anywhere in 2023. Its po sible that he required some sort of elbow procedure and spent the year rehabbing, though that is entirely speculative. The Padres have plenty of rotation uncertainty at the moment and questions around their budget as well. and give the club a strong duo at the top of their starting staff but declined his player option and is now a free agent. and have complicated contract options but could follow Lugo out the door. will surely receive and turn down a qualifying offer and head to the open market himself, alongside midseason pickup . The club will surely be looking to bolster the rotation but could perhaps limit how aggre sive they are in signing free agents to accomplish that task. Carpenter figures to compete with internal options like , , and for a spot on the depth chart. Justin James Jersey |
