Biggio was placed on waivers the other day due to a rough stretch with Toronto. The Blue Jays drafted Biggio in the fifth round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of Notre Dame.

The following season he made his big league debut appearing in 100 games hitting .234 with a .793 OPS; he had 17 doubles, two triples, 16 home runs, 48 RBI, 66 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, and 71 walks. This season he had played in 44 games hitting .200 with a .614 OPS; he had four doubles, two home runs, nine RBI, 15 runs scored, two stolen bases, and 14 walks. With Biggio’s time in Toronto coming to an end he had played in 490 games hitting .227 with a .725 OPS; he had 77 doubles, four triples, 48 home runs, 176 RBI, 246 runs scored, 32 stolen bases, and 241 walks.
