Giants Designate Tyler Beede For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | May 5, 2022 at 6:05pm CDT

6:05PM: In addition to the Beede DFA, Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters (including MLB.com’s Maria I. Guardado) that the club also reinstated right-hander Zack Littell from the COVID-19 list, optioned infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A, and called up right-hander Gregory Santos.

5:10PM: The Giants designated right-hander Tyler Beede for assignment, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area (Twitter link).  Beede is out of minor league options, so a DFA was necessary for the Giants to send him to the minors or outright him from their 40-man roster.

The 14th overall pick of the 2014 draft, Beede has appeared in four of the last five MLB seasons, posting a 5.39 ERA over 135 1/3 innings in a San Francisco uniform.  This season saw Beede record six walks against only four strikeouts in 9 2/3 frames of work out of the Giants bullpen, en route to a 4.66 ERA.

Between Beede’s high draft pedigree out of Vanderbilt and his quality numbers early in his minor league career, Beede appeared on some top-100 prospect lists prior to the 2017 season but then seemed to hit something of a wall.  The right-hander was rarely consistent at the Triple-A level or in his first few tastes of MLB action, and Beede’s career was then further interrupted by Tommy John surgery in 2020.

Returning from the IL last May, Beede’s 2021 season consisted of a single big league inning, a 6.66 ERA over 48 2/3 innings for Triple-A Sacramento, and a lower back strain that required a trip to the 60-day IL.  Those Triple-A numbers were exacerbated by an ugly 18.4% walk rate, as Beede continues to be hampered by the major control issues that began to surface in 2018.

While the Giants might be able to sneak Beede through waivers, today’s move might mark the end of his time in San Francisco.  Another team could possibly make a waiver claim to see if the 28-year-old Beede would benefit from a change of scenery, given the potential he showed early in his career.

        Even if you watched him at Vanderbilt, he was no ace. It was always a wonder to me that the Giants chose him so high. His release comes way past its due date. I wish him well but I’m glad the Giants have stopped counting on him.

      I watched Beede pitch at Vandy. This guy could never throw strikes. Total mess in the CWS.
      Another in a long line of Frisco Draft Busts. Of course the next big Bust is Joey Bart and his 55% strikeout rate . LOL

      Dubon is far more valuable than fans realize. A great defender at SS or any infield position and CF. Given a chance, I think he’ll hit enough. With Gonzalez looking like the real deal, I think Duggar is on the way out, which will help Dubon’s chances of sticking.

        I think you’re wrong about his stuff – he’s got a plus fastball and slider. He just hasn’t been able to spot the pitches consistently like a big league pitcher needs to. And then the wheels fall off when he gets into a little hot water

        Back when Beede was a top prospect, Giants kept hearing about the future pitching staff was going to be Tyler Beede, Clayton Blackburn, and Ty Blach.

        All of those guys fell way short of expectations, sadly. Just goes to prove that there are no guarantees when it comes to farm talent translating into MLB talent.

    I don’t think that it’s a slam dunk that Beede gets claimed Some team has to see something in him to make a claim. But, with the roster reduction, any team with any kind of 40 man crunch will probably pass.

    I’m sure there are some teams with an opening, but then how well does that team regard Beede, given that other teams might be putting decent players waivers.

      Rays have 46 guys on the 40 man with 7 on the 60 day IL. I suppose if none of those guys on the 60 day are coming back anytime soon, then they do have a spot open. The trouble for the Rays is every NL team, and about 10 in the AL, all get a hot at him first.

    Interesting that the Giants are DFAing this guy. This team is the one that usually fixes pitchers after the other teams can’t. I wonder if he’s fixable. Unless, perhaps, he goes to the Rays, as StPete mentions above, who also seem to work miracles with pitchers.

    Last year was supposed to be a rebuilding year and nobody in the industry thought they were going to perform the way they did. They signed a lot of players that nobody wanted and you know what happened. But… that won’t happen this year and they also don’t have Posey, Gausman, etc. It’s time to give a chance to some of the prospects in the minors, even if they finish last. Give them experience in the bigs. Too many years in the minors and you get burned. The best that happened to Brian Reynolds was to be traded and I believe some of the prospects in the giants system surely want to go some place else.

      Yeah, it’s an interesting observation & a fine line with those prospects. I often feel like that’s what happens with some of the Yankees prospects too. They simply stagnate in the minors and wither. I believe they would provide the same production as many of the value guys these teams pick up anyway.

      I agree w a lot of what you’re saying. Because The G’s F o and some fans are under the delusion that the Giants are going to overhaul the Dodgers ,they will stick with older, broken down vets (La Stella. Longoria, etc) instead of developing younger players. A lot of people got suckered into believing that this team will match last years amazing performance. It will not! Its a decent ballclub with a core of older players that are just getting older.

        The one I was disappointed to see go was Posey. I really think he still had a couple of good years left. But, he went out on his terms, after a great year, & had an excellent career as one of the best catchers of his era.

          I totally agree Clipper. Posey finally recovered from his injuries and was able to rehab completely. He looked rejuvenated. and I have no doubt, he could have been productive over the next couple of years.

          I had read though that Posey was concerned about the concussion risk. He, like every other catcher, had multiple concussions. He is such a family guy, that I think he wanted to be sure to be there for them. I was disappointed as well, but I can’t really blame the guy.

        mark Mijares,

        Not sure where you’re getting that “a lot of people got suckered into believing that this team will match last years amazing performance” What I’ve seen is almost universal recognition that there’ll be regression. The Giants cannot be expected to win anything close to 107 games this season. Anyone that does, doesn’t know much about baseball, and their opinion should be ignored.

        I found another team that won 107 games. The 1932 NYYs, won the WS, and had 6 of their 8 position players, as well as a couple of their pitchers, go into the HoF. The 1933 team, with the exact same roster won 90, and finished in 2nd. That’s kind of what I’m hoping/expecting for the Giants this season.

      sf fan,

      Actually I think what you’ve posted was more about fans perception than reality. I don’t think anyone on the Giants ever said 2021 was a rebuilding year. I don’t think FZ accidentally built a winning team on the way to rebuilding. They’ve been trying to win every year.

      They didn’t really sign a lot of players no one else wanted. In fact, they didn’t really sign a lot of players, most were holdovers. La Stella, DeSclafani, Wood and Jake McGee is what their FA signings amounted to. And I wouldn’t describe any of them as unwanted by other teams.

      La Stella, was #30 on MLBTRs top FA list. DeSclafani was #49, Lamonte Wade was a trade acquisition.. Plenty of teams wanted Gausman, and the Giants took a lot of heat from fans for offering the QO.

      And you act like the Giants were holding Reynolds down. He was traded prior to the 2018 season, and he played most of his first season with Pirates at AA. He started 2019 at AAA, before he was promoted.

      Young players are ruined more often by being rushed to the majors than they are being left in the minors too long.

    Just when you thought we are 2021 revisited the tires fall off. Loved Ruf the last two years and now it seems he has no clue about the strike zone, which was one of his strong suits (high BB rate). Between injuries/COVID our shelves are bare, every day it is another ‘MLB first timer callup’……fun to see if any stick with the MLB team, not fun to see us lose like this.
