Padres Bring Back Drew Carlton
1 year agoSan Diego Padres relief pitcher Drew Carlton has decided to re-sign with the organization. The two sides have reached an agreement on a minor-league contract. The right-hander recently elected free agency after being removed from the 40-man roster. Despite that, the two sides were able to come to an agreement to bring back Carlton for the 2024 season. The 28-year-old appeared in 11 games last season before going down in July with right elbow inflammation. Carlton only has 20 MLB games under his belt, but has pitched well during his time in the minors. He should be able to at least be a back-end piece out of the bullpen for the Padres next season.
