Royals Release Joe Beimel

By Steve Adams | July 15, 2016 at 11:24am CDT

The Royals have released veteran left-handed reliever Joe Beimel from their Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, according to MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan (Twitter link). Beimel had signed a minors pact with Kansas City in late May.

Beimel posted a 4.30 ERA in 14 2/3 innings with Omaha, issuing eight walks against six strikeouts in his fairly brief stint with the Royals. Prior to that, he had reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with the Marlins, but Miami axed the agreement based on issues that popped up when Beimel was taking his physical.

The 39-year-old Beimel spent the 2014-15 seasons with the Mariners, where he posted a 3.12 ERA in 92 1/3 innings. He saw quite a bit of his work come against left-handed batters and held them to a paltry .226/.281/.381 batting line in that two year stretch. His struggles against righties were notable, however, as he walked more right-handed hitters than he struck out in that time. He’s best-suited as a lefty specialist, though he actually struggled with lefties in 2015 and yielded a .796 OPS against them in his brief sample of 29 minor league plate appearances this year.

    Indians should sign Beimel/Mujica. Tired of Tito only pitching guys with track records in key situations. You got House up from the minors to face lefties & w/bases loaded & Gardner up it’s Otero? That’s why that game was lost to Yankees. The extra inning game vs. the Yankees he used Hunter (who’s been shaky lately) over Colon/Adams. Adams who pitches upper nineties with decent secondary stuff pitches in a mop-up role or first guy out of the pen’ (Sun. Carrasco early KO) every time he’s with the big league club. Go ahead sign these cast offs Tribe because Tito has 3 guys in the ‘pen that he’s very scared to use in close games.
