Outfielder spotted at Cubs pre-spring training camp has fans buzzing
The Chicago Cubs once again appear to have assembled a deep and versatile roster, stocked with both pitchers and position players capable of contributing at the major-league level. From headline moves like signing Alex Bregman and trading for Edward Cabrera, to mid-tier additions such as Phil Maton and Tyler Austin, and even under-the-radar pickups like Chas McCormick and Collin Snider from a Tread Athletics pro day, the Cubs have quietly built impressive depth across the organization.
If that weren’t enough, rumors began to swirl after a longtime outfielder who spent several years with the St. Louis Cardinals appeared at Cubs pre-spring training. That player is Dylan Carlson.
Dylan Carlson was spotted at the Chicago Cubs pre-spring training camp
According to a report from Ray Rardin, Carlson was at the Cubs pre-spring training camp in Arizona on January 22.

Carlson, a former first-round pick by the Cardinals, spent five seasons in St. Louis, with his best year coming in 2021. That season, he hit .266 with 18 home runs, 31 doubles, four triples, and 65 RBI across 149 games. However, he was never able to fully recapture that production, finishing his Cardinals tenure with a career .239/.318/.381 slash line.
In 2025, Carlson played his first full season outside of St. Louis, appearing in 83 games for the Orioles. The results were underwhelming, as he posted a -0.7 bWAR, hit just above the Mendoza Line, and recorded a .278 on-base percentage.
Still, as a potential depth addition, Carlson would come with little risk for the Cubs. His experience, defensive versatility, and former top-prospect pedigree could provide useful organizational depth without hindering roster flexibility. No signing has officially been announced, but the reports of him being in camp do indicate that something formal could be coming soon.
