The Dylan Carlson DFA has reached its full and final conclusion: he’s gone.
The 27-year-old outfielder, who couldn’t seem to find playing time even when Seiya Suzuki was out, was designated for assignment when Suzuki returned, and placed on waivers. He cleared waivers – meaning no team wanted his $2-ish million contract – and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa. Because he has five+ years of service time, Carlson had the right to reject the outright assignment, however, and hit free agency again.
Per the transaction wire, that’s what he’s chosen to do. Carlson is now officially a free agent.
As for the implications of Carlson’s decision, it’ll depend on what happens next. It’s conceivable that he could eventually sign a new deal with the Cubs, deciding he doesn’t like his other options out there. More likely, he’ll seek to latch onto an organization with a clear path toward a big league bench job or even regular playing time. That deal, if he reaches the big leagues, will be at the Major League minimum rate, and will save the Cubs the prorated portion (if he signed today, it’d be about $700,000 in savings off the 2026 payroll, for example). Otherwise, the Cubs are I believe still on the hook for the $2-ish million he was owed on the big league portion of the deal he signed with the Cubs (i.e., it was a minor league deal, but if he reached the 26-man roster at any point, the big league part kicks in).
