Twins infielder Tim Beckham collected one hit in two at-bats Friday in the Twins' 3-1 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Beckham will look to establish himself as a valuable veteran off of the Twins bench this season. He will mainly be used to spell second baseman Jorge Polanco and newly-signed shortstop Carlos Correa.
The Twins hosted veteran infielder Tim Beckham for a workout and eventually signed him to a minor league deal. If the former No. 1 pick cracks the majors in 2022, he'd fetch $1 million. Presumably, the deal includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Beckham has six seasons and 472 games in the majors under his belt. During that time, he slashed .249/.302/.431. With that said, the 32-year-old hasn't reached the big leagues since 2019. This past year, he slashed .279/.330/.545 with 11 homers, 13 walks, and 44 strikeouts through 45 games with the White Sox' Triple-A affiliate.
Tim Beckham signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox that will fetch him $1.35 million if he makes the big league roster, per Bob Nightengale.
Fantasy Impact
Beckham wasn't on a big league roster in 2020 and last played for the Mariners in 2019 when he registered a .237/.293/.461 batting line to go along with 15 home runs and 47 RBI across 304 at-bats.
Updating a previous report, Tim Beckham will not be heading to the San Diego Padres. He remains a free agent.
Fantasy Impact
MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman mistakenly tweeted that Tim Beckham had signed a minor-league deal with the Padres earlier this morning. In actuality, it is Gordon Beckham who signed the deal. Tim Beckham remains a free agent, and continues to discuss terms with several teams.
Tim Beckham agreed to a minor-league deal with the Padres on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Beckham will join the major-league club for Spring Training, but he still has 32 games remaining in his 80-day suspension he received in August. Thus, he cannot make the Padres' opening day roster. He has a chance to make an impact in San Diego's middle infield, especially if Jurickson Profar fails to meet expectations as the everyday second baseman.
