AUSTIN DEAN DEALT TO ST. LOUIS

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired outfielder Austin Dean from the Miami Marlins for outfielder Diowill Burgos.

What does it give the St. Louis Cardinals
Dean, 26, is a decent right-handed batter who could work his way into a platoon role with St. Louis if he enjoys a strong spring training.

What does it give the Miami Marlins
The Marlins recently designated Dean for assignment, so they did well to land the 18-year-old Burgos in this deal.

Fantasy impact
Dean needs to surpass a few other outfielders in St. Louis in order this season to become relevant from a fantasy perspective. For now, keep an eye on him but do not commit to drafting him. As for Burgos, he has long-range fantasy potential but is still several years away. Like Dean, keep an eye on Burgos.
