Orioles Claim Ryan Eades

By Steve Adams | August 14, 2019 at 1:26pm CDT

The Orioles have claimed right-hander Ryan Eades off outright waivers from the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASNsport.com reports (via Twitter). Baltimore’s 40-man roster is full, so a corresponding roster move will need to be made.

Eades, 27, was Minnesota’s second-round pick out of Louisiana State University back in 2013. He made his big league debut earlier this summer when he tossed 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball, but his minor league track record has been rather spotty. The 6’2″, 210-pound righty has never ranked among the Twins’ best pitching prospects, despite his draft status, and he was shifted to the bullpen back in 2016 after posting lackluster numbers in the rotation.

Eades showed well out of the ’pen in 2018, tossing 76 1/3 innings with a 3.54 ERA, 10.4 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, 0.6 HR/9 and a 40 percent ground-ball rate in 76 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. The bottom-line results for Eades in 2019 haven’t been as encouraging; he’s posted a 5.51 ERA in 50 1/3 innings with Minnesota’s top affiliate in Rochester. However, he’s also averaging a career-best 11.2 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9. Eades’ HR/9 mark has doubled to 1.2, but long balls throughout all of Triple-A are through the roof now in 2019 after the decision to switch over to the Major League ball (the same one that has led to record home-run paces throughout MLB).

The addition of Eades will give the Orioles some optionable depth for the foreseeable future. Because his contract was only selected this season, Eades can be optioned back and forth not only for the remainder of the 2019 season but also in two additional seasons beyond the current campaign.

    This team this decade has been bad at drafting in the 1st 2nd and 3rd rounds

    So let me get this straight from a business perspective as it relates to the Twins organization.
    They drafted Ryan Eades in 2013 with the FOURTH pick in round 2 of the MLB Draft.
    He received a signing bonus of $1,290,000.00.
    In 2013 he pitched 15.2 innings in Rookie Ball.
    In 2014 he was in Class A Midwest League.
    In 2015 he was in Class A Advanced League.
    In 2016 he was in Class AA.
    In 2017 he was in Class AA with a brief time at AAA..
    In 2018 he was in Class AA with a brief time at AAA..
    In 2019 he was in Class AAA with 3.2 innings over 2 appearances with the Twins.
    So AFTER 7 years in the organization, while drawing a minimal annual salary (don’t forget the initial $1,290,000.00 signing bonus) and consuming the coaching and managerial resources of the Twins’ minor league staff, he is relinquished to the Orioles for $50,000.00

      I don’t think this situation is exclusive to the Twins.

        Agreed. This is probably one of the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen. This happens all the time. That was a lot of words for nothing.

      That’s about right.

      I’m not sure waiver claims cost any money.

    The Twins seem to be giving up on a lot of pitching this year. They never seem to get anything for them either. You still need fodder for the minors. It’s not like Eades was blocking any young phenom.

      Could be if they weren’t on the 40 man. Graterol might come up as a reliever sooner than later and they’d need to clear a spot. If you’re not the the solution now and not looking like part of the future then they’ll make room for someone who is.

    I like seeing decisions made early and not floundering. While I wish he’d have had success here, especially as a second rounder. Sometimes you need to make these moves. Plus, it seems our pitching philosophy has changed and he may not fit that mold.
