The SF Giants made a minor move this week by claiming outfielder Justin Dean off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that could have major implications for outfielder Luis Matos who will be on the bubble next year.
The Dean acquisition is not a huge one, but the fact that the Giants added him means that there is likely going to be some heated competition for a spot on the roster next season.

As things stand right now, Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee should be the starting left fielder and center fielder respectively going into next season.
