"The Giants announced that outfielder Justin Dean has been claimed off waivers by the Cubs. San Francisco had designated him for assignment last week to open a roster spot for Tyler Mahle."
"Chicago had multiple 40-man vacancies and doesn't need to make a corresponding move. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle was among those to relay the transaction. More to come."
Outfielder Justin Dean has been claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs. The San Francisco Giants designated Dean for assignment last week to open a roster spot for Tyler Mahle. The Cubs had multiple vacancies on their 40-man roster and therefore did not need to make a corresponding move to accommodate the claim. The transaction was publicly reported, and further details are anticipated as roster processing continues. The roster adjustment completes a move that clears space for Mahle while allowing Chicago to add Dean without immediate roster churn.
