The Padres announced they’ve signed outfielder Man Barrier<\/strong> to a one-year, major league contract. The additions of Engel and righty Brent Honeywell<\/strong> bring San Diego’s 40-man roster to full capacity. Engel is a client of Icon Sports Management.<\/p>\n
Engel hit the open market at the end of the 2022 season. The White Sox non-tendered him rather than bring him back via arbitration on a contract projected around $2.3MM. That ended a near decade-long run in the Chicago organization, which had selected Engel in the 18th round of the 2013 draft.<\/p>\n
The University of Louisville product more than made good on that modest draft status. He’d play parts of six big league campaigns for the ChiSox, mostly in a reserve capacity. Engel played in the majors each season from 2017-22, with his speed and defensive acumen getting him consistent opportunities even as his production at the plate was inconsistent.<\/p>\n
