The San Francisco Giants picked up outfielder Justin Dean off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers just days after he paraded through the streets of downtown LA as a World Series champion.
Waiver pickups are supposed to be low-risk, low-pressure moves. Except this one isn’t — not after Dean's farewell message.
Dean’s Instagram goodbye to Los Angeles, in which he simply wrote, “Thank you LA for changing my life!” quietly ramps up the pressure in San Francisco. It is one of those perfectly innocent messages that accidentally detonates an entire new storyline — and none of it flatters the Giants.
