"Dylan Carlson was designated for assignment last week to make room for Seiya Suzuki, and after clearing waivers, he elected free agency on Wednesday."
"Carlson was a non-roster invitee to spring training and made the roster largely due to Suzuki's injury, but he was hitless in four plate appearances with the Cubs."
"Drafted 33rd overall by the Cardinals in 2016, Carlson made his MLB debut in 2020 and posted strong numbers in his first full season, but his performance has trended downward."
"Over the last three years, Carlson has accumulated -1.6 fWAR, indicating a significant decline in his performance since his initial success."
