He would play for the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves, St. Louis Browns, St. Louis Terriers, and Detroit Tigers.[1]

When his request for a salary increase for 1915 was rejected, Deal jumped to the Federal League, playing for the St. Louis Terriers.[3] Deal only played 65 games for the Terriers, due to being hospitalised with a bout of typhoid fever.[4]

In 1917 Deal led the National League in sacrifice hits with 29.
