Former Toronto Blue Jays top prospect also gets credit for World Series title with Do

Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the eighth World Series championship in franchise history by defeating the New York Yankees in five games.

The title win means former Toronto Blue Jays players Teoscar Hernandez, Kevin Kiermaier and Daniel Hudson won World Series rings. Additionally, Ryan Yarbrough, who started the year with Los Angeles before finishing with the Blue Jays, will also receive a World Series ring.

But there’s one more Blue Jays/Dodgers/World Series tie: infielder Cavan Biggio.

Biggio was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays earlier this season, then traded to the Dodgers. He played in 30 games with Los Angeles, hitting just .192. In addition to Los Angeles, he also spent time in the San Francisco Giants minors. He briefly played for the Atlanta Braves in September and is now a free agent.

He has five home runs and 19 RBIs this season, along with two stolen bases.

The son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, Cavan was a fifth-round pick of the Blue Jays in 2016 out of Notre Dame. He made his major league debut in May 2019 and was supposed to team with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette to help build the Blue Jays’ next great team.

While Toronto Arriving in the playoffs in 2020, 2022 and 2023, Biggio never really established himself. He hit 16 homers in his first year, but never hit more than nine after that. He’s a lifetime .225 hitter who hasn’t hit above .235 since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
