Tim Beckham News
Minnesota Twins shortstop Tim Beckham cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul, so he'll remain with the organization. Beckham was dropped from the 40-man roster when the Twins reinstated outfielder Kyle Garlick from the injured list recently. The 32-year-old only appeared in 12 games for Minnesota, going 2-for-25 (.080) with no home runs, one RBI, one run scored and nine strikeouts. He'll continue to provide middle infield depth for the Twins in the minors, but he's well off the fantasy radar at this time.
The Minnesota Twins have decided to sign infielder Tim Beckham to a minor league deal. The former first overall draft pick from 2008 hasn't played in the MLB since 2019 with the Seattle Mariners. Beckham spent time in the minor league system with the Chicago White Sox last year. However, Beckham only managed to play 45 games all season due to a knee injury. He has a .249/.302/.431 slash line with 63 home runs and 13 stolen bases in the MLB since his debut in 2013. He'll have a chance to make the roster as depth, but doesn't appear to be someone who would make an impact in fantasy leagues.
The Baltimore Orioles are interested in shortstop Tim Beckham and have discussed a minor league deal with him, according to multiple sources. Beckham spent 1 1/2 seasons in Baltimore. He was handed an 80-game performance-enhancing suspension on Aug. 6 of last year, so he will start the 2020 season serving the rest of that suspension. The 29-year-old (30 on Monday) hit just .237/.293/.461 with 21 doubles, a triple, 15 home runs and 47 RBI in 328 plate appearances with the Mariners last year. Beckham got off to a nice start last season but predictably faded and was then hit with the suspension. He could see plenty of playing time at shortstop if he lands with the O's, but he'd merely be a depth option in AL-only leagues.
