Royals Outright Matt Beaty

By Anthony Franco | September 21, 2023 at 11:28pm CDT

The Royals have sent Matt Beaty outright to Triple-A Omaha, according to the transaction tracker at MLB.com. The left-handed hitter was designated for assignment on Tuesday.

Beaty appeared in 26 games after re-signing with K.C. on a minor league pact in June. He’d also signed with the Royals in Spring Training before being traded to the Giants on Opening Day. San Francisco immediately called him up but only played him four times before waiving him. After going unclaimed, Beaty chose free agency and circled back to Kansas City.

In 67 trips to the plate, Beaty hit .232/.358/.304. He walked six times with 12 strikeouts but only had four extra-base hits, all of which were doubles. Beaty is best suited for first base or a corner outfield position, putting extra pressure on his bat.

The former 12th-round draftee posted above-average offensive numbers in a part-time role with the Dodgers from 2019-21. He hit .262/.333/.425 in 240 contests. Los Angeles nevertheless DFA him before the start of the 2022 campaign. Beaty hasn’t hit well in scattered looks over the two seasons since then. He’s a .173/.271/.240 hitter in 119 big league plate appearances since the Dodgers dealt him.

Beaty has the right to again test free agency. He’d be a minor league free agent at the beginning of the offseason anyhow unless the Royals add him back to the roster.

    Beaty had some big hits on the Dodgers, earned the nickname, “hitman”, I’m surprised he has struggled so much since leaving. I thought when he got an opportunity to play more regularly he would be solid. Hopefully he makes it back.

    There is nothing wrong with Beatty. Watched him as a dodger. Good team player. He was able to play 3b adequately then as well.

    He was and remains a very solid “AAAA” piece. Less valuable as he ages though.

    He’s an example of a young man who has carved out a fine living and still has his life ahead of him.

    As someone already pointed out, head overseas for a couple of years, pocket the cash, and enjoy life.
