News: Owings has signed a major league deal with the Padres, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
Impact: Owings managed a solid 3.57 ERA in 63 innings out of the bullpen last season in Arizona despite allowing eight home runs. The possibility of pitching half of his games at Petco Park could certainly address the issues he has with keeping the ball in the park.

News: General manager Josh Byrnes says the Padres are talking with Owings.
Impact: Byrnes declined further comment. It is not clear whether the sides have agreed to a deal. The NL West champion Arizona Diamondbacks declined to tender Owings a contract after last season. Owings made his major league debut with Arizona in 2007, when Byrnes was GM of the Diamondbacks.
