6:00 PM ET: Ken Rosenthal is reporting the deal is a major league deal, and is for one year and $1 million, pending a physical.

5:17 PM ET: The San Diego Padres have signed pitcher/slugger/wunderkind Micah Owings to a minor league deal, according to Dan Hayes of the North County Times. The deal includes an invitation to Spring Training.

Owings, 29, is actually listed on his b-ref page as "Pitcher and Pinch Hitter," which should please try-everything baseball dads around the country. In this case, though, the extra bullet point isn't filler -- he can actually hit on top of being an extreme fly-ball pitcher, as Rob Neyer points out:

  "Padres agree to a minor deal with pitcher Micah Owings and will invite him to big league camp."

  "Granted, he probably benefited from shifting to the bullpen after spending most of his professional career as a starter. But then, most relief pitchers are failed starters so there's little shame in that. And this seems like a great fit, as Owings is a fairly extreme fly-ball pitcher and his new home ballpark -- assuming he earns a spot on the squad -- is where fly balls go to die terrible deaths."
