The Atlanta Braves will make some changes this winter.
This is the case every offseason and will be the case once again this year. No team can bring back an entire roster each year. The Braves will have some decisions to make with a handful of players hitting free agency.
One player who spent a little time with the Braves in 2024 and could hit the open market is infielder Cavan Biggio. He appeared in just four games with the Braves in 2024 at the big league level, and FanSided's Zachary Rotman predicted that he won't be back for more action in 2025.
"The Braves were the fourth team to take a chance on Cavan Biggio in one way or another in the 2024 campaign," Rotman said. "They acquired him in early September following Whit Merrifield's injury, hoping he'd add some much-needed depth. All he did in Atlanta was step up to the plate five times across four appearances, recording one hit in those at-bats...
"If Biggio gets a (Major League Baseball) deal this offseason, it almost certainly won't be with the Braves, as their infield should be healthy to begin 2025. Even if he has to settle for a minor league deal, Biggio can likely find a better opportunity to play elsewhere rather than in a Braves organization that, when healthy, is loaded."
Somehow, Biggio's market value currently is projected to be $32 million over four years by Spotrac. That type of deal certainly wouldn't make any sense for the Braves this winter.
It's unclear where he will go, but don't expect him back in Atlanta. Rotman certainly is right.
