Executive Vice President/General Manager Kevin Towers made the announcement. Embree, 35, went 2-5 with one save and a 7.62 ERA (44 ER/52.0 IP) in a combined 67 games with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in 2005. This will be Embree's second tour with the Padres after having been a member of the club in 2002. In 36 relief appearances with the Friars that season, Embree went 3-4 with a 1.26 ERA (4 ER/28.2 IP) and 38 strikeouts prior to being traded to Boston. |
