The Los Angeles Dodgers used a record number of pitchers during the 2024 season, which included Brent Honeywell emerging as an unlikely postseason hero.

Honeywell joined the Dodgers in the middle of July via a waiver claim after being designated for assignment by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was DFA'd by the Dodgers one month later but accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City to remain with the organization.

That wound up paying dividends for both sides, but there may now be change on the horizon.

According to Jack Harris of the L.A. Times, Honeywell and Zach Logue were non-tendered and have become Dodgers free agents:

Logue made just two appearances for the Dodgers this past season, both of which came in September after being signed to a Minor League contract.

Friday was the deadline to tender contracts to players who are eligible for arbitration. The Dodgers reportedly reached one-year agreements with both Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin prior to 5 p.m.

Honeywell and Logue were not arbitration-eligible, but the Dodgers seemingly valued freeing up two spots on their 40-man roster with decisions to non-tender them.

Brent Honeywell helped Mookie Betts

A rash of injuries created an opportunity for Honeywell to be on the Dodgers' postseason roster for the National League Championship Series and World Series. He contributed greatly both by taking on innings to alleviate the bullpen's workload and with pitching to Mookie Betts.

Honeywell wasn't active for the NL Division Series but regularly threw live batting practice during workouts and off days. He grooved purposely grooved pitches to Betts during those sessions, and was later credited by teammates for helping the All-Star catch fire during the postseason.
