That didn't go very well. The 37-year-old was signed by the Padres in May, but he registered a 7.72 ERA with Triple-A El Paso before being given his walking papers. Petit's previous success gives him a chance to latch on with another team, but it will certainly be a minor league contract.

The 37-year-old hurler is a favorite of Padres skipper Bob Melvin, after pitching for him with the Athletics from 2018-2021. He went 8-3 with a 3.92 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and a 37/12 K/BB ratio over 78 innings during the 2021 campaign. It wouldn't be surprising to see him join the Padres bullpen in a couple of weeks.

Petit allowed his run on a solo shot to Jared Walsh, but it came with the Athletics holding a 6-3 lead, so it was (relatively) inconsequential. It's the second save of the year for the right-hander, and while he's pitched effectively as seen in a 3.18 ERA, it's unlikely he sees many more save chances in 2021. 

With Lou Trivino and Jake Diekman presumably unavailable after some heavy usage recently, Petit was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning, and needed only 17 pitches (10 strikes) to retire the side in order. The 36-year-old innings-eater remains a durable workhorse for the Athletics' bullpen, but he doesn't offer much appeal for fantasy managers outside of AL-only formats.
