Tim Beckham: Hits free agency

Beckham elected free agency Monday after clearing waivers.

Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul after the Twins designated him for assignment Aug. 26, Beckham will get a head start on finding a new organization ahead of the 2023 season. The 32-year-old didn't find much success in his brief stint in the majors with Minnesota earlier this season, getting on base just twice in 25 plate appearances over 12 games.
