Cavan Biggio - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Links up with Kansas City Biggio agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Sunday.

Impact The 29-year-old spent time with three organizations in 2024 and elected free agency in November after Atlanta removed him from the 40-man roster. Biggio had a .798 OPS in his first two big-league seasons, but he's faltered to a .216/.325/.349 slash line over the past four years. He should serve as utility depth for Kansas City and isn't likely to be a significant contributor even if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Atlanta Braves Cavan Biggio Elects Free Agency Bringing Biggio in never panned out for the Braves and he's looking to take his services elsewhere

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • SI.COM

Elects free agency Biggio elected free agency Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Atlanta removed Biggio from its 40-man roster and the player exercised his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Biggio slashed only .197/.314/.303 over 78 games between three different teams in 2024.

Sent to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Impact The 29-year-old was added to Atlanta's big-league roster Sept. 11 shortly after being acquired from San Francisco, but he'll now head to Triple-A as Ozzie Albies (wrist) returns from the injured list. Biggio appeared in just four games during his brief time in the majors, and he has a .197/.314/.303 slash line in 78 games between his time with the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and Atlanta this season.

Added to roster Atlanta selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Biggo was acquired via trade from the Giants over the weekend and now joins the major-league roster after just one game at Gwinnett. He could get some chances at second base if Whit Merrifield's foot injury continues to linger. Biggio has slashed just .197/.316/.306 at the big-league level in 2024.

Dodgers News: Cavan Biggio Shifts to Braves, Marking Fourth Change This Year Cavan Biggio has been traded to the Atlanta Braves, marking his fourth team this season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • SACBEE.COM

Traded to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Biggio in a minor-league trade with the Giants on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The trade marks the fourth team Biggio will play with this season, having previously spent time with the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Giants. Biggio signed a minor-league contract with San Francisco on Aug. 23, and he's slashed .163/.413/.326 with two home runs and six RBI across 63 plate appearances with Triple-A Sacramento. Biggio could see some time in the majors with Atlanta, but he would not be eligible to play in the postseason, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Dodgers News: Cavan Biggio Joins Giants After Dodgers Release Following his release from the Dodgers, infielder Cavan Biggio has signed with the Giants.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Signs with San Francisco Biggio signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact After spending nearly two months with the Dodgers, Biggio was released by Los Angeles on Aug. 9. He'll now remain in the NL West as he joins the Giants and will report to Triple-A Sacramento to begin his time with the club. The 29-year-old has slashed .197/.316/.306 with 19 RBI across 217 plate appearances in the majors this season, though he'll likely need to show improvement in the minors before earning a promotion to San Francisco.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters free agency The Dodgers released Biggio on Thursday.

Impact Biggio was removed from the club's 40-man roster earlier this week and is now officially a free agent after clearing waivers. He's slashed just .197/.316/.306 between the Blue Jays and Dodgers this season but should be able to latch on elsewhere with another team looking for utility depth.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Biggio was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Biggio appears to be the odd man out on the Dodgers' 40-man roster with Freddie Freeman (personal) being activated from the restricted list Monday. Biggio will now be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll either report to Triple-A Oklahoma City or elect free agency, the latter of which seems more likely. Over 30 games with the Dodgers this season, Biggio has produced a .192 average with three home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Homers Tuesday Biggio went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Biggio capped off a five-run first inning for the Dodgers with a two-run homer to right off Matt Waldron. He now has two homers and five RBI over his last three games while reaching base a total of six times, though he also has seven strikeouts in his last four games. Freddie Freeman (personal) is expected to be out once again Wednesday, leaving Biggio in line for another start against Dylan Cease, who's coming off a no-hitter in his previous outing.

Teoscar Hernández hit his 22nd home run, River Ryan struck out eight in his first major league win and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Houston Astros 6-2

Swats second homer with L.A. Biggio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, a double and a walk in a 7-6 loss to Houston on Saturday.

Impact Biggio put the Dodgers on the board with an RBI double in the second inning and later provided what looked to be a valuable insurance run with a solo homer in the eighth, though it wasn't enough to prevent the Astros from pulling out the victory. He now has four runs batted in over his past five contests, collecting as many RBI during that span as he had accumulated across his previous 30 games combined. Biggio's two hits Saturday pushed him just over the Mendoza Line, as he's slashing a paltry .202/.319/.307 across 192 plate appearances on the season.

Homers Tuesday Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Biggio provided the Dodgers' lone run in the lopsided defeat with a solo shot off Zack Wheeler in the fifth inning. It's Biggio's first homer since joining Los Angeles on June 12. He'd gone just 1-for-13 in his previous seven contests. Overall, Biggio's slashing an uninspiring .197/.314/.286 with three homers, 11 RBI, 20 runs scored and two steals across 172 plate appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays this year.
