Outrights: Aguilar, Beaty, Garcia, Barrera

By Anthony Franco | September 13, 2022 at 8:14pm CDT

A handful of players recently designated for assignment have gone unclaimed on waivers in recent days.

  • The Angels announced today that outfielder Ryan Aguilar was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake. The 28-year-old is now in line for what’ll be the first Triple-A experience of his career. Aguilar had never played above Double-A before he was called up last month — first as a temporary replacement for players unable to travel to Toronto and then as a formal addition to the 40-man roster. Aguilar only got into seven games during his MLB look, though, striking out in 14 of 26 plate appearances before being designated for assignment last week. He’d struck out in 27.2% of his plate appearances at Double-A Rocket City this year, but he’d also drawn walks at an incredible 19% clip and posted a huge .280/.427/.517 showing in 88 games there. The lefty-hitting outfielder will stick in the organization for now, but he’ll qualify for minor league free agency at the end of the year if he’s not reselected onto the 40-man roster.
  • Infielder/outfielder Matt Beaty has cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Padres, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. Acquired from the division rival Dodgers before the season, Beaty only appeared in 20 games with San Diego and hit .093/.170/.163 without a home run. He lost the bulk of the year to a shoulder impingement. It’s been a tough season, but the left-handed hitter is only a year removed from a productive .270/.363/.402 showing over 234 plate appearances with Los Angeles. Beaty surpassed three years of MLB service this season, giving him the right to refuse an assignment to Triple-A El Paso in favor of free agency.
  • The Orioles announced that right-hander Rico Garcia was outrighted to Triple-A Norolk. Baltimore designated the 28-year-old for assignment over the weekend upon claiming Cam Gallagher off waivers. Garcia has appeared in six big league games this season, working eight frames of four-run ball. He’s only struck out two batters, but he has a more impressive 27% strikeout rate in 30 1/3 innings with the Tides this year. Garcia has never previously been outrighted and doesn’t have three years of service, so he’ll stick in the organization without occupying a 40-man roster spot. He’ll be eligible for free agency at the end of the season if not added back to the roster.
  • Athletics outfielder Luis Barrera has been outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas, according to his MLB.com transactions log. Barrera lost his roster spot when Oakland claimed Conner Capel from the Cardinals last week. The left-hander has tallied a career-high 85 MLB plate appearances this year, hitting .234/.294/.338 with his first home run. Barrera has slightly below-average numbers in Triple-A and has been outrighted twice this season, giving him the right to test free agency this time around.

    Glad Luis Barrera is staying with the A’s. He deserves a longer steady look at big league level.

    I wonder if Beaty would prefer his role he had with the Dodgers compared to what he has going on now

    For those following at home: the Angels brought up a guy from AA, he goes 3-for-22 in the Majors, striking out in 14 of 26 at bats, they DFA him, nobody bites, so they promote him to AAA.

    This is the way.

    Want to know why the Padres are struggling to even get the final WC spot?

    Here is a list of most of the players Preller signed or traded for in the offseason or during the season that played in the majors and their stats with the Padres.

    Juan Soto – .212 with .718 OPS
    Josh Bell – .206 with a .633 OPS
    Brandon Drury – .220 with a .672 OPS
    Nomar Mazara – .264 with a .668 OPS
    Matt Beaty – .093 with a .333 OPS
    Robinson Cano – .091 with a 209 OPS
    Trayce Thompson – .071 with a..259 OPS

    Only one batter that has a league average OPS and that is Soto. Only reason he is even at league average is walks. He has a .336 SLG with the Padres, 60 points below league average

    So how about the pitchers?
    Sean Manaea – 5.23 ERA
    Taylor Rogers – 4.35 ERA
    Josh Hader – 12.10 ERA
    Luis Garcia – 3.61 ERA
    Nick Martinez – 3.27 ERA – He will probably opt out after 2022
    Robert Suarez – 2.84 ERA

    Preller can pick him some middle relievers, but when it comes to any hitter or marquee player he swings and misses almost every single time.

    Sometimes the Angels moves baffle me. There was no one else that could be called up to AAA to open a spot on the Trash Panda’s roster?
