Padres signed RHP Justin Kaye to a minor league contract.
The 27-year-old Kaye had a 2.49 ERA in 31 relief appearances for Triple-A Pawtucket and a 7.20 ERA in 20 appearances for Triple-A Iowa last season. He’s always had pretty good stuff, but it doesn’t look like he’s ever going to refine his control enough to allow him to become a successful major league reliever.
