Tuesday morning, it was announced that the Minnesota Twins had claimed right-handed pitcher Beau Burrows off waivers. The 24-year-old was designated for assignment after his lone major league game of the season, vacating the roster spot that would eventually be used to bring Matt Manning to the Tigers.
Burrows, the Tigers 2015 first round pick, didn’t get much of a chance in the big leagues before being given up on by the team. The COVID year had some impact on that, but more than anything the Tigers waited a long time to convert Burrows to relief and give him a chance at finding a role.
