Dylan Carlson

The Chicago Cubs are only a few weeks from opening up their 2026 Spring Training, as the front office continues to make moves. While they have already added some major names like starting pitcher Edward Cabrera and third baseman Alex Bregman, this offseason, the front office continues to add talent to the franchise. Let’s take a closer look as to who they signed and what it means for the team going forward.

The Chicago Cubs signed outfielder Dylan Carlson to a minor league deal

It has been reported by Greg Zumach that the Cubs are signing outfielder Dylan Carlson to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training on Monday. This is a similar situation to what the team did with Chas McCormick last week. Carlson has been struggling to stay healthy the last few years and spent the 2025 season with the Baltimore Orioles. He appeared in 83 games and in 241 plate appearances (217 at-bats), he had a .203/.278/.336 slash line with six home runs, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, and three stolen bases on six attempts.

Carlson played all three outfield positions throughout his career and has shown the ability to be good at the plate, but has failed to provide much production at the plate overall. With only a .241 batting average on balls in play last season, this is something he significantly needs to improve upon. He will be competing to make the 26-man roster as the projected bench at this point has catcher Miguel Amaya, first base and outfielder Tyler Austin, utilityman Matt Shaw, and McCormick.

It will be intriguing as it appears that outfielder Kevin Alcantara will be heading to Triple-A Iowa to begin the regular season as well. With a veteran like Carlson competing in Spring Training, he can play a fourth outfielder role and give spells to all three starting outfielders. It will be intriguing to see if the Cubs like what he brings to the table ahead of the regular season.
