The Padres
signed Edwards to a minor-league contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Edwards had been with Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs organization before being released last month. Though he posted a 1.85 ERA over 24.1 innings with Iowa, Edwards issued 15 walks. Edwards has already made one appearance with the Padres' rookie-level 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.
