The Los Angeles Dodgers placed outfielder Justin Dean on waivers following the end of the 2025 season, and the San Francisco Giants promptly snatched him up.
Dean had spent the his entire professional career in the Atlanta Braves organization before the 2025 season, with the Dodgers signing him after 2024. Dean made his debut for the Dodgers in 2025, featuring in 18 games during the regular season. He also came in for 13 games during the postseason, and was on the Dodgers’ World Series winning roster.
His biggest moment in a Dodgers uniform came on the defensive side of the ball, when Addison Barger lined a ball into the gap during Game 6 of the World Series.
