The San Diego Padres announced they have signed experienced outfielder Adam Engel with a one-year major league contract. The additions of Engel and right-hander Brent Honeywell bring San Diego’s 40-man roster to full capacity. Engel is a client of Icon Sports Management.

Adam Trevor Engel went on the open market at the end of the 2022 season. The White Sox did not offer him a deal instead bringing him back via arbitration on a contract projected to be around $2.3MM. That ended a nearly decade-long career in the Chicago organization, which had selected Engel in the 18th round of the 2013 draft:

The University of Louisville product more than lived up to that modest draft status. He played parts of six major league seasons for the ChiSox, primarily as a reserve. Engel played in the majors every season from 2017-22, his speed and defensive acumen giving him consistent chances even as his production at the plate was inconsistent.

In just over 1,500 MLB plate appearances, the 6-foot-1 Engel is a career .225/.280/.350 hitter. He posted well-below-average offensive numbers in his first three seasons, but put up quality marks in limited action in 2020-21.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover big events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), important players’ signatures. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as an amateur. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but baseball is in my veins. Graduated in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS). , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it took almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to radio, providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
