Maybin was granted his release by the Cubs on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs have Ian Happ, Jason Heyward, Joc Pederson and Jake Marisnick on the roster as outfielders, and Kris Bryant is also an outfield option when he's not playing third, so Maybin didn't have a place on the team. The 33-year-old will now get the opportunity to latch on with a club in need of a veteran outfielder, but he likely won't be in a fantasy-relevant role this season no matter where he lands.
