Cavan Biggio signs with the Astros on a minor league deal
Cavan Biggio started off his MLB career with the Toronto Blue Jays, where he shined in his rookie year, earning a 3.1 bWAR and receiving Rookie of the Year consideration.
He never replicated the heights he reached in 2019 with the Blue Jays, and he has recently played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and the Kansas City Royals. His minor-league deal with the Astros also has an invitation to major-league camp, so there’s hope that he could compete for a roster spot if he impresses in the spring.
