Cavan Biggio (29), who had been assigned to the Toronto Blue Jays, has found a new team. The Los Angeles Dodgers, which is experiencing a vacancy in the third baseman, has found him.
ESPN reported on Tuesday night that the Dodgers traded with Toronto for Vizio, a super utility player. The high bidder is right-handed relief pitcher Braden Fisher. Fisher had just moved to Triple-A this year.
The Dodgers traded to send minor league pitcher Brayden Fisher instead of bringing Cavan Biggio, who was on the waiting list for release from the Toronto Blue Jays on the 13th (Korea Standard Time).
Biggio was excluded from the 40-man roster of the Major League Baseball after being hit by the DFA on Tuesday. Toronto could no longer afford to leave him on the roster with a batting average of 0.200 with two homers and nine RBIs with an OPS (the sum of on-base plus slugging) of 0.614 in 44 games this season. 토토사이트 순위
Vizio was one of the pillars of the “blood ball” that Toronto was hoping for in 2019. His father Craig Vizio won seven All-Star awards, four Gold Gloves and five Silver Slugger awards. He hit a career-high batting average of 0.281, 3060 hits and 291 home runs. He was considered the best second baseman of his time and was a star player of the Houston Astros. Of course, he was even inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Toronto, like Vizio, has brought together several proven DNA players who were raised by the father of star baseball players. They raised Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the son of the monster Vladimir Guerrero, and Beau Vichette, the son of Dante Vichette.
Guerrero Jr. became the home run king and Vissette became the leading offensive shortstop in the league in 2021, but Vizio failed to reach that goal. He only had a batting average of 0.227 overall, serving as a utility to fill empty spots on his team instead of the starting lineup. While Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles played, he stayed behind.
It was the Dodgers that found Vizio who had nowhere to go. The team’s power is stronger than that of Toronto. It is also ranking first in the National League West this year. As of Tuesday, it had a winning percentage of 0.618 (42 wins and 26 losses), ranking second only to the Philadelphia Phillies, and fourth overall in the MLB.
Dodgers is agonizing over infielders including third baseman cleanse. It started ambitiously after recruiting Shohei Ohtani, but its main third baseman Max Muncy left the team due to injury. Prospects for his return to the team are still uncertain. Gavin Luxe, who was picked as the starting shortstop in the spring camp, stepped down as a platoon second baseman after the start of the season due to sluggish ball and number. Mookie Betts, the center hitter, is playing shortstop at the same time, but his offense is weakening due to his physical limitations.
We are trying to fill it with internal resources, but the reality is that it is not enough. Existing utility players Chris Taylor and Kikke Hernandez are somewhat sluggish. Miguel Rojas has good pace but is old. The outfield is not safe either. Teoscar Hernandez plays with 17 home runs, but all of the young players he believed in, including James Outman, Andy Frazas and Miguel Vargas, are sluggish.
It is not a resource that can be highly anticipated, but the Dodgers will likely fill these vacancies through Vizio. MLBCOM, the official website of MLB, predicted that Vizio will have an opportunity to establish himself as a versatile backup member who can support the main lineup. Meanwhile, the Dodgers deployed Vizio as the ninth batter and third baseman immediately at a home game against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
