Biggio agreed to a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
The Royals cut Biggio loose last week after he turned in a .174/.296/.246 slash line across 37 games with the big club. He turned in a .839 OPS at the Triple-A level, however, which will buy him a new opportunity in the Angels' farm system. If the 30-year-old utility man continues to hit well upon reporting to Triple-A Salt Lake, he may be granted a few at-bats with the Halos down the stretch.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Royals designated Biggio for assignment Friday.
Kansas City needed to open a 40-man roster spot for the return of Hunter Harvey (shoulder) from the 60-day IL. Biggio hasn't been in the majors since he was sent to Triple-A on May 25 after slashing .174/.296/.246 with one home run, four RBI, nine runs scored, one stolen base and an 11:21 BB:K across 83 trips to the dish. He's been swinging the bat better at Triple-A Omaha, slashing .285/.375/.464 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 26 runs scored, one steal and a 20:37 BB:K over 176 plate appearances.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Royals optioned Biggio to Triple-A Omaha following Sunday's 2-1 win over the Twins, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Biggio appeared as a pinch hitter in the contest, striking out in place of Mark Canha in the top of the ninth inning. The 30-year-old has struggled to a .174 average with one home run, four RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base over 83 plate appearances in 37 games with Kansas City this season. Since he's accrued more than five seasons of service time, Biggio will now have the chance to either accept his option to Triple-A or elect free agency.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
Biggio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.
Biggio had started each of the Royals' last four games against right-handed pitching (two in left field, two at designated hitter), but he will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench as the Giants send righty Logan Webb to the hill. Vinnie Pasquantino is at DH and Mark Canha is in left field for Wednesday's matinee.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Launches first homer
Rotowire
Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-0 win against Baltimore on Saturday.
Offense was at a premium in the rain-delayed contest, and Biggio provided a key run with his 389-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran infielder, who has struggled to a .191/.321/.255 slash line through 57 plate appearances this season. The poor numbers have impacted Biggio's playing time and have made him a non-factor in almost all fantasy formats.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Heading to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Biggio will head to the bench after he started at first base in the Royals' first two games while going 1-for-5 with a walk. Vinnie Pasquantino has been limited to designated hitter duties thus far while he works his way back from a minor hamstring strain, and once he's cleared to return to his usual post at first base, Biggio could see his opportunities dry up.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Starting at first base
Rotowire
The Royals selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.
In addition to winning a spot on the Opening Day roster, Biggio will draw a start at first base and will bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Guardians while Vinnie Pasquantino is limited to the designated-hitter spot. Biggio will fill a reserve role once Pasquantino is fully healthy.

Royals' Cavan Biggio: Will make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Biggio is poised to make the Royals' Opening Day roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Biggio still needs to be added to the 40-man roster, but he has won the final spot on the Royals' bench. The 29-year-old will offer depth at multiple positions and could get some run at first base early on in the season if Vinnie Pasquantino (hamstring) misses time.

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

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

Braves' Cavan Biggio: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
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 the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and Atlanta this season.

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

Braves' Cavan Biggio: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
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.
The trade sends Biggio to his fourth team this season, as he previously spent time with the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Giants. Biggio signed a minor-league contract with San Francisco on Aug. 23, and he slashed .163/.413/.326 with two home runs and six RBI across 63 plate appearances with Triple-A Sacramento. Biggio could see some playing time at second base if Whit Merrifield goes on the injured list after being diagnosed with a foot fracture, but the former would not be eligible to play in the postseason if Atlanta were to make it there, per Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com.
Biggio signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
After beginning the season with the Blue Jays before spending nearly two months with the Dodgers, Biggio was released by Los Angeles on Aug. 9. He'll now remain in the NL West, although he will report to Triple-A Sacramento. The 29-year-old has slashed .197/.316/.306 with 19 RBI across 217 plate appearances in the majors this season, and he'll likely need to show improvement before earning a promotion to San Francisco.
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.
