The Kansas City Royals announced multiple roster cuts, reassigning several non-roster invitees and optioning key players to Triple-A Omaha. This leaves the team with 26 players, among them Cavan Biggio, who seems poised to make the 40-man roster. Despite a challenging spring, Biggio has demonstrated plate discipline with a high walk rate. The Royals' infield remains uncertain, with players having varying performance levels, making Biggio's ability to play multiple positions valuable, potentially filling gaps in their Opening Day lineup as they assess other players.
"Biggio's keen eye and the small-sample improvement in his contact skills - he's fanned in 32% of his plate appearances - coupled with his defensive versatility put him in position for an Opening Day spot in Kansas City."
"The Royals already have a pair of 40-man vacancies, so a corresponding move won't be necessary, which positions Biggio advantageously for selection to the 40-man roster."
