"Biggio, 31 in April, would be entering his eighth season as a big leaguer if he makes the Astros' roster. A fifth-round pick by the Blue Jays in 2016, he turned in impressive performances for Toronto in his first two years with the club, slashing .240/.368/.430 with a wRC+ of 118 and 4.0 fWAR in 159 games between the 2019 and 2020 seasons."
"He hit just .219/.327/.351 (93 wRC+) throughout the remainder of his Jays career before being cut loose by the team in June of 2024. That left Biggio to spend the rest of the year bouncing between teams. He appeared in the majors with the Dodgers and Braves through the second half of the season before catching on with the Royals on a minor league deal last offseason."
Cavan Biggio signed a minor league contract with the Houston Astros and received an invite to big-league Spring Training. Biggio entered the majors as a fifth-round pick in 2016 and produced strong 2019-2020 seasons, slashing .240/.368/.430 with 118 wRC+ and 4.0 fWAR in 159 games. Early projections pegged him as the Blue Jays' everyday second baseman entering 2021. He subsequently lost that role and became a utility player, hitting .219/.327/.351 (93 wRC+) after 2020. Since leaving Toronto he has hit .184/.298/.286 (70 wRC+) with a 29.0% strikeout rate and moved between several organizations. His career 13.5% walk rate and consistent patience suggest potential value in a part-time role.
