The Giants claimed Dean off waivers from the Dodgers on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Dean logged two plate appearances in 18 big-league games during the 2025 regular season before serving as a defensive specialist for Los Angeles' World Series run. The outfielder spent most of the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and slashed .289/.378/431 with six homers and 27 stolen bases over 347 plate appearances
