Beau Burrows Elects Free Agency

By Simon Hampton | October 22, 2022 at 9:27am CDT

After being sent outright to Triple-A by the Dodgers, pitcher Beau Burrows has elected free agency, per his MLB transactions page. As Burrows has already been outrighted more than once in his career, he had the opportunity to reject the assignment and opt for free agency.

Burrows, 26, pitched the entire 2022 season at the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate Oklahoma, posting a 7.18 ERA across 100 1/3 innings. He initially worked out of the starting rotation, but his struggles saw him demoted to the bullpen. As has been the case for much of his short career, he struggled to keep the ball in the park, surrendering 18 home runs during the season. He also walked batters 20% of the time against a 12.7% strikeout rate.

The 2015 first-round pick for Detroit has had brief stints in the majors for both the Tigers and Twins in 2020 and 2021. Neither of those stints proved successful, as he pitched to a combined 10.70 ERA across 17 2/3 innings with eight home runs given up in that time.

The former top-100 prospect will hit the open market and hope to latch on with another team as a minor league depth option in 2023.

    Always surprised Beau never turned out. He was actually pretty darn good in AA at 20, I don’t get how he wasn’t able to put it together at the mlb level. I think he just doesn’t have enough movement on his stuff for the mlb level or needs a mechanics adjustment.

    Beau got over 1.2 million hits on a You tube video posted by Jomboy Media. Woof. And yes, he did start to decline after AA. Looks like it coincided with injuries. Wish him well.

    Another good spring training invite for someone. You never know when the right pitching coach can turn someone around.

    And the Tigers passed on Walker Buehler and Mike Sirotka to take him…and you wonder why Al Avila and David Chadd were terminated???

      In their defense, Walker needed TJ right after signing

      I think Beau Burrows was drafted by Dave Dombrowski. Al Avila gave more attention to his own draft choices.

    Dodgers should sign him. They do wonders with shoulda-beens.

      The Dodgers had him in 2022. That 7.18 ERA in AAA was pretty wondrous I guess.

    His era was 21.6 for the Tigers in ’21… they lowered his era to a 1/3rd of what it was.

    Tigers should get him back, and let him spend an off-season with Chris Fetter
