The San Francisco Giants already have the kin of an MLB Hall of Famer on their roster with Mike Yastrzemski, who is the grandson of MLB legend Carl Yastrzemski and has been a staple in the team’s outfield since 2019.
He now has company and is no longer the only offspring of a legend after his team made a recent free-agent acquisition.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports shared that the Giants are signing infielder Cavan Biggio and assigning him to Triple-A after he was recently released by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Cavan is the son of Houston Astros legend Craig Biggio and was dumped by the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this year after years of disappointment as a foundational member of two other sons of MLB legends, Bo Bichette and Vladdy Guerrero Jr.
Biggio was released by the Dodgers just 30 games after they traded for him after putting up just three home runs and ten RBIs on a .192 batting average while filling in for the injured Max Muncy and Mookie Betts.
He’ll now get a fresh start with the Dodgers’ biggest rival at 29 years old and try to work his way back to a major league roster in an effort to recapture some of the magic he had early in his career.
The Giants are currently sitting at .500 and on the outside looking in when it comes to the wild card standings largely due to receiving subpar performances from some key infielders this year in Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores.
MLB rosters expand soon, so we’ll see if Biggio can get back to the bigs and make some noise.
