Eitel moved to independent ball, signing a contract with the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association late in the 2015 season and then playing over the winter in the Mexican Pacific League and Dominican Winter League. On December 31, 2015, his contract was purchased by the San Diego Padres.[15][16] Eitel played in the 2016 season for the Class-AAA El Paso Chihuahuas, developing his slider as his best offering.[17]
After the 2016 season, Eitel elected to become a minor league free agent.[16] He signed a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals that included an invitation to spring training on November 20, 2016.[18]
