Jeff Passan of ESPN.com has reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired superutilityman Cavan Biggio from the Toronto Blue Jays. Biggio, 29, was designated for assignment last week after spending over five years with the franchise. Biggio struggled this season offensively and was hitting .200 with two homers and nine RBI over 110 at-bats this season. His addition to the Dodgers could mean that utilitymen, Enrique Hernandez or Chris Taylor could be replaced with Biggio. Regardless, none of the three hold value and can be left on the waiver wire for now.
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (shoulder) is "still going in the right direction," according to manager John Schneider. Biggio hit in Sunday's simulated game in camp and has been doing full defensive drills as he recovers from tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in spring training. It's not considered a serious injury for the 28-year-old, but the Blue Jays have been slow-playing him. It's unclear when Biggio will make his Grapefruit League debut, but as long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his shoulder, he still has time to be ready for Opening Day on March 28. Biggio should bounce around between second and third base for the Jays in 2024, but his bat has been underwhelming for fantasy managers the last three years. Unless he can make more contact, Biggio will merely be useful for infield depth in AL-only leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (shoulder) is taking batting practice on the field at spring training on Thursday. Biggio has been dealing with left-shoulder tendinitis in camp, but the issue never sounded serious, and he has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day in late March. The 28-year-old probably won't play in Grapefruit League games this weekend, but he should be able to join the lineup sooner than later in spring action. Biggio was the team's everyday second baseman down the stretch in 2023 and will compete for playing time at both the keystone and third base for the Jays in 2024. Plate discipline is probably Biggio's biggest asset, as he's proven to be a below-average hitter in recent seasons and strikes out far too much. As a likely utility player for Toronto, he's merely a middle-infield option in deep-mixed fantasy leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (shoulder) is dealing with left-shoulder tendinitis in spring training, according to manager John Schneider. It sounds like more of a precaution than anything in mid-February, but Biggio isn't hitting off live pitching on the field just yet in camp. It was reported earlier on Thursday that Biggio, Santiago Espinal and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be options at both second and third base this year for the Blue Jays. The 28-year-old Biggio could still be ready by Opening Day, but it's something to keep an eye on. He became the team's regular second baseman down the stretch in 2023 but has proven to be a below-average MLB hitter the last several years and will probably bounce around between second and third in 2024 when the team is facing right-handed pitching.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that infielders Cavan Biggio, Santiago Espinal and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be in the mix at both second and third base this spring, calling it "a cool puzzle to solve." Meanwhile, Davis Schneider is going to focus on playing left field in camp as well as the keystone. The Blue Jays are going to have some options to mix and match at second and third, and the 28-year-old Biggio should see regular playing time at one of the spots against right-handed pitchers in 2024. He became the team's everyday player at second down the stretch in 2023 and finished by hitting .235 (68-for-289) with nine home runs, 40 RBI, five steals and 54 runs scored in a career-high 111 games. Biggio has proven to be a below-average hitter, but he can be useful in deeper fantasy leagues for his on-base percentage.
