The San Francisco Giants continue adding depth to their pitching staff, reportedly agreeing to a minor-league contract with right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. as they evaluate bullpen options entering the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive, the deal is expected to include an invitation to the Giants’ major-league Spring Training camp, giving Honeywell an opportunity to compete for a roster spot.<\/p>\n

Honeywell, who turns 31 next month, did not pitch during the 2025 season after being non-tendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> following the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

After spending the year without a club, his current form remains uncertain, but the Giants are taking a minimal-risk approach by bringing him into camp on a non-roster agreement.<\/p>\n

Once regarded as one of the more intriguing pitching prospects in Major League Baseball, Honeywell\u2019s career has been heavily impacted by injuries.<\/p>\n

A series of setbacks, including multiple elbow-related procedures, limited his ability to establish consistency early in his professional career.<\/p>\n

By the conclusion of the 2022 season, he had made only three major-league appearances.<\/p>\n

He returned to more regular action in 2023, splitting time between the San Diego Padres<\/a> and Chicago White Sox<\/a>, logging over 50 innings while posting a 4.82 ERA.<\/p>\n

Despite flashes of effectiveness, he struggled to secure a long-term role and was later designated for assignment.<\/p>\n

Honeywell signed a minor-league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> ahead of the 2024 season before eventually landing with the Dodgers through the waiver process.<\/p>\n

During the second half of that year, he delivered a strong 2.63 ERA, though underlying metrics suggested some regression risk due to a low strikeout rate. He also appeared briefly in postseason action in a relief role.<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s interest in Honeywell reflects a broader strategy to rebuild a bullpen that has undergone significant changes.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s trade deadline, the Giants moved key relievers Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers, while Randy Rodr\u00edguez later required Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n

The organization has since targeted several low-cost reclamation arms, including Jason Foley, Rowan Wick, and Sam Hentges, though injuries could delay their availability.<\/p>\n

Additional depth signings such as Gregory Santos and Michael Fulmer further illustrate the Giants\u2019 approach of assembling competition ahead of Opening Day.<\/p>\n
