Austin Dean has signed a one-year contract extension with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization.

Dean has been one of the top sluggers in the KBO since making the jump from MLB in 2023. He did his best work during the 2026 season, slashing an absurd .331/.427/.635 with 41 homers, 127 RBI and 114 runs scored across 640 plate appearances. Dean will earn $2 million on his one-year pact with the Twins.

Austin Dean has re-signed with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization.

Dean spent last season with the Twins as well and will return for another year in Korea. The 30-year-old outfielder last appeared in the majors during the 2022 campaign when he got into three contests for the Giants. He’ll continue playing overseas, where he’ll draw a higher salary, rather than toiling away stateside in the minors.

Giants sent OF Austin Dean outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

Dean made it into just three games last year for the Giants and put up some strong numbers at the Triple-A level. The 29-year-old outfielder has been removed from San Francisco’s 40-man roster and will likely become a minor league free agent.

Giants optioned RHP Jakob Junis and RHP Kervin Castro to Triple-A Sacramento; Reassigned INFs Alex Blandino, Arquimedes Gamboa and Jason Krizan, C Jhonny Pereda, OFs Austin Dean and Luis Gonzalez and RHP Taylor Williams to minor league camp.

With that large batch of cuts, the Giants now have just 34 players remaining in big league camp as they try to trim that number down to 28 before Opening Day. Junis pitched well in Cactus League action -- hurling four shutout innings with a 0.50 WHIP and 4/0 K/BB ratio -- there simply wasn’t room for him in the Giants rotation after the Carlos Rodon signing. He’ll bide his time at Triple-A until he’s needed.
