Angels' Carl Edwards: Signs minor-league deal with LAA
Rotowire
Edwards and the Angels agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
Edwards and the Angels' deal comes just 13 days after the right-hander committed to playing for the Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Mexican League on March 10. It's unclear why Edwards never reported to the Mexican League, but he will now stick around the United States, likely reporting to Triple-A Salt Lake to open the 2025 campaign. The 33-year-old spent the majority of the 2024 season with Triple-A Iowa, producing a 1.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 24.1 innings in 20 appearances out of the bullpen.

Padres' Carl Edwards: Gets call to big leagues
Rotowire
The Padres selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.
Edwards has worked exclusively as a reliever over parts of nine seasons in the big leagues, but he's been operating as a starter since catching on with the Padres in July on a minor-league deal. Over his four starts with El Paso, Edwards compiled a 4.76 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 17 innings. Though he could get the chance to make his first MLB start later on in the campaign if injuries test the Padres' rotation depth, Edwards is expected to serve as a long-relief option during his first stint in the majors of 2024.

Padres' Carl Edwards: Latches on with San Diego
Rotowire
The Padres signed Edwards to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Edwards had been with Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs organization before being released last month. Given that he posted a 1.85 ERA over 24.1 innings (albeit with 15 walks), it could have been an opt-out situation. Edwards has already made one appearance with the Padres' Arizona Complex League affiliate, striking out four over 2.1 perfect frames. He should soon be assigned to Triple-A El Paso, where he will provide veteran relief depth.
