Right-handed pitcher Brandon Kintzler is set to sign a minor league deal with the Padres, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Kintzler, 38, appeared in 12 straight MLB seasons from 2010 to 2021, and will look to make it lucky 13 here in 2022.
The veteran reliever has had some good years in his career. 2021 was not one of them. A 12-year veteran and one-time All-Star, Brandon Kintzler came into the season with a track record of success as a major league reliever.
The Phillies have released reliever Brandon Kintzler.
As has been well-documented by now, teams are going to be more reliant on their rotation depth than ever before while monitoring workloads in the wake of last year’s shortened season.

The Washington Nationals made some bold moves in the offseason in an attempt to correct a perceived culture problem.
