flag The Chicago Cubs claimed outfielder Justin Dean off waivers from the San Francisco Giants, adding a speed-focused defensive player with minor league experience. flag Dean, 29, made his MLB debut with the Dodgers in 2025, appearing in 18 games primarily as a defensive replacement and pinch runner, contributing to their World Series title. flag He hit .289/.378/.431 with 29 stolen bases in Triple-A and has three minor league options. flag The Cubs added him to their 40-man roster, which now has 38 players, and he is expected to begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Iowa, potentially providing bench depth. flag His low service time means he won’t be eligible for arbitration until 2029, making him a low-cost asset. flag The team’s offseason moves, including the expected signing of Alex Bregman, suggest roster construction is nearing completion.
