Dodgers’ World Series Outfielder Joins NL West Rival
The Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant roster move involving outfielder Justin Dean. To accommodate Ryan Ward, the Dodgers designated Dean for assignment. This required him to pass through waivers before he could return to the Triple-A level in Oklahoma City.
Giants Claim Justin Dean
In a turn of events, the San Francisco Giants took advantage of Dean’s situation by claiming him off waivers. This acquisition adds depth to the Giants’ outfield as they seek to strengthen their roster.
Additional Roster Changes
Alongside Dean, the Giants also claimed left-handed pitcher Reiver Sanmartin from the Cincinnati Reds. To make room for these new players, they designated Mason Black for assignment.
- Player: Justin Dean
- Previous Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
- New Team: San Francisco Giants
- Other Claim: Reiver Sanmartin from Cincinnati Reds
- Roster Move: Mason Black designated for assignment
This transaction emphasizes the competitive nature of the National League West as teams, like the Giants, seek to improve their rosters heading into the next season.
