Cavan Biggio has signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros and the entire city is absolutely thrilled about this incredible homecoming.
The son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio is finally putting on the uniform his family made famous.
It is a deeply emotional moment for a kid who grew up watching baseball in this exact city.
Cavan Biggio (Drafted Round 5, 2016 by Toronto Blue Jays) is searching for a major career reset.
He faced some heavy struggles during a grueling 2025 season.
The scoop dropped on social media today and immediately sparked waves of nostalgia for longtime supporters.
The Astros signed Cavan Biggio to a minor-league deal per the team.
While playing for the Royals last year, he hit a rough patch at the plate.
He posted a .174 AVG with 1 HR and a low .542 OPS over 37 games.
The hometown hero finds his way back
We all felt a massive wave of hope seeing him get another shot with the organization we breathe for.
Those numbers look tough on paper.
But we know his elite plate vision and smooth left-handed swing are still hiding in there.
Sometimes a player just needs the comfort of home to break out of a deep slump.
The Houston Astros finished 87-75 last year and shockingly missed the postseason.
They need hungry, versatile guys who are willing to fight for every single out.
Manager Joe Espada loves players who can bounce between second base, third base, and the outfield.
At 30 years old, Biggio brings exactly that kind of vital defensive flexibility.
He will head to Triple-A Sugar Land first to work on his mechanics and regain his timing.
Getting out of the major league spotlight is the perfect recipe for his confidence.
He can take his time to rebuild his rhythm without the daily pressure of the big leagues.
If he finds his groove, he transforms into an elite bench option for the big club.
A disciplined left-handed bat is always a premium asset during a tight divisional chase.
This minor-league deal carries zero financial risk and features a massive potential upside.
General Manager Dana Brown is making a very smart depth move right before spring training.
Baseball has a beautiful way of offering redemption when you least expect it.
