Beede agreed to a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Beede secured a spot in Cleveland's Opening Day bullpen last spring but was off the 40-man roster by May after posting an 8.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings in 13 appearances. He finished out the season with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus and didn't fare any better (11.28 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 22.1 innings). On the heels of the poor season, Beede had remained unsigned since electing free agency in October, but the Twins will bring the 31-year-old right-hander aboard as organizational pitching depth. He's expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul once he's fully ramped up.

The Guardians outrighted Beede to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. After Cleveland designated him for assignment Friday and removed him from its 40-man roster, Beede will end up sticking around in the organization. The right-hander earned a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen but produced an ugly 8.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings before getting demoted.

Beede was designated for assignment on Friday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Beede has allowed 13 runs across eight innings in his last eight appearances, capped off by a five-run outing against the Astros on Thursday over one-third of an inning. His ERA has ballooned to 8.36 during that stretch after he opened up the season with six scoreless innings. Righty Peter Strzelecki was recalled in a corresponding move.

Beede (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk without striking out a batter over one inning, earning the extra-inning win Saturday over the Yankees. Beede gave up a two-run single to Anthony Rizzo in the top of the 10th inning, but the Guardians were able to rally with two hits, two fielder's choices and a sacrifice fly to pull off the comeback. Prior to this weekend's series, Beede had started the year with six scoreless innings over five outings. He allowed four runs (three earned) over his last two innings against a dangerous Yankees offense. The Guardians' bullpen has been a strength so far this season, and as long as Beede pitches well, he'll likely continue to contribute to that success as a middle reliever.

The Guardians selected Beede's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. Cleveland opened up room for Beede on the 40-man roster by placing Trevor Stephan (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. The 30-year-old Beede is expected to work as a long reliever after striking out 12 while allowing six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 13 innings during Cactus League play.
