Beede agreed to a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beede secured a spot in Cleveland's Opening Day bullpen last spring but was off the 40-man roster by May after posting an 8.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings in 13 appearances. He finished out the season with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus and didn't fare any better (11.28 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 22.1 innings). On the heels of the poor season, Beede had remained unsigned since electing free agency in October, but the Twins will bring the 31-year-old right-hander aboard as organizational pitching depth. He's expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul once he's fully ramped up.

The Guardians outrighted Beede to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After Cleveland designated him for assignment Friday and removed him from its 40-man roster, Beede will end up sticking around in the organization. The right-hander earned a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen but produced an ugly 8.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings before getting demoted.

Beede was designated for assignment on Friday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beede has allowed 13 runs across eight innings in his last eight appearances, capped off by a five-run outing against the Astros on Thursday over one-third of an inning. His ERA has ballooned to 8.36 during that stretch after opening up the season with six scoreless innings. Righty Peter Strzelecki was recalled in a corresponding move.

The Guardians selected Beede's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland opened up room for Beede on the 40-man roster by placing Trevor Stephan (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. The 30-year-old Beede is expected to work as a long reliever after striking out 12 while allowing six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 13 innings during Cactus League play.

Beede was informed Friday he made the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander signed with Cleveland as a non-roster invitee in January and earned a roster spot by posting a 1.69 ERA with a 10:4 K:BB over 10.2 frames in spring training. Beede spent last season pitching in Japan and had a 4.08 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 75 innings. He still needs to be officially added to the club's 26-man and 40-man rosters.

Beede signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Saturday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beede spent last season with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball, putting up a 4.08 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 75 innings. His ERA jumps up to 5.34 in 187 career innings as a major-leaguer, and Beede will most likely begin 2024 at Triple-A Columbus.

Beede agreed to a contract with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan on Dec. 5, the pitcher announced.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the first stint overseas for Beede, who has posted a 5.34 ERA over parts of four major league seasons. The former first-round pick will turn 30 in May.

Beede elected free agency Oct. 6.

EDGE Analysis

Beede found little success at the big-league level in 2022 between stints with the Giants and Pirates, submitting a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while striking out just 39 batters over 61.1 innings. Though Beede once had some pedigree as a prospect, he's set to turn 30 years old in May and doesn't have much of a track record at the big-league level to fall back on. With that in mind, Beede might have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency this winter.

Beede was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being designated for assignment by two different teams this season, Beede cleared waivers and will officially end his season in Triple-A. Beede pitched 61.1 innings in 2022 and finished with a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Once the minor league season wraps up, he will look to make another run at joining the big-league bullpen in 2023.

Beede was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Beede served exclusively as a starter early in the season but drew five starts over the last several weeks. He wasn't particularly effective over the last month, posting a 7.78 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 19.2 innings over seven appearances (five starts) since Aug. 8. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster as part of a move after Eric Stout was recalled from Indianapolis.
