Royals Release Daniel Tillo

By Anthony Franco | April 14, 2022 at 1:34pm CDT

TODAY: Tillo is now officially a free agent after clearing waivers, the Royals announced.

APRIL 13: The Royals announced this morning they’ve requested unconditional release waivers on left-hander Daniel Tillo. Kansas City had designated the 6’5″ southpaw for assignment last week when setting the Opening Day roster.

Tillo has never appeared in a major league game, although he did accrue 99 days of MLB service last season while on the injured list. Kansas City selected the Iowa native onto the 40-man roster over the 2020-21 offseason. He was still rehabbing from a Tommy John surgery he’d undergone the prior season, and he spent much of last year recovering.

Upon being reinstated from the IL in August, Tillo was optioned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. He pitched 23 1/3 innings there, working to a 4.63 ERA with a 21.6% strikeout percentage and an elevated 14.7% walk rate. Assuming he clears release waivers, Tillo will be a free agent and could look for a minor league deal with any of the league’s 30 teams.

      Someone who got hurt like Darren dreifort? Or someone who was on the active roster but was rarely asked to play like Drew Butera?

      If you meant most service without ever appearing I have no idea.

          He has had the most amazing career. In multiple season he got $1M plus to be the depth catcher.

          I assume he must be a future coach/manager type. Why else would he keep getting calls?
