Giants Outright Austin Dean

By Darragh McDonald | March 27, 2022 at 2:33pm CDT

TODAY: Dean cleared waivers and has been outrighted to the Giants’ Triple-A affiliate.

MARCH 20: The Giants have designated outfielder Austin Dean for assignment, per Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com. His roster spot was needed for the signing of Matthew Boyd, whose deal is now official.

Dean, 28, was originally drafted by the Marlins in 2012 and eventually made his MLB debut with them in 2018. After 98 games with the Fish in 2018 and 2019, he was traded to the Cardinals, playing 25 games for them in the past couple seasons. He’s yet to impress in his limited MLB action thus far, having hit .225/.282/.391, for a wRC+ of 80. However, his Triple-A performance is much more impressive, as Dean has hit .322/.394/.535 in parts of three seasons.

The Giants just claimed Dean off waivers in November, meaning he could potentially depart the organization without ever suiting up for the team. Given his Triple-A track record, youth and remaining option year, he could potentially be claimed in the coming days by a team looking to add some cheap outfield depth.

      KNBR is a supreme homer station, they talked up Uggla before it was apparent of his lack of laying off pitches.

        Pretty much every team will hype themselves up in spring training and look for positives… it’s not abnormal

    Hopefully the Marlins will not sign him to clog up the OF positions like they have right now. Not unless it’s for AAA depth only.

    They are hoping no one claims him now.

    He suited up for Spring Training and had a solid 0-2 appearance (hit the ball, no K)
    He will be remembered for those 2 ABs in the spring training book

      I thank him for his contributions to the franchise and ability to have bay area media fill up talk time of him

    I actually think there his something there with him. Good plate discipline, a little bit of power, worth a flyer.

      Padres are only looking to overspend on a player – he does not fit that mold

    Still some upside. Not a bad looking ball player when with the Cards. Always looked like he was close to figuring something out.
