MILWAUKEE — The Blue Jays no longer had a spot for Cavan Biggio, but one of the best teams in baseball does.

The Blue Jays traded Biggio to the Dodgers along with cash considerations on Wednesday in exchange for Double-A reliever Braydon Fisher.

“I think it’s good for Cavan, and I was pretty sure he’d land on his feet,” said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. “In terms of what they’re looking for out of him, it’s a pretty obvious skill set, and with how they deploy their roster, I’m sure he’ll be playing against right-handed pitching. He’s joining a really good team. It’s tough to have him leave.”

Dodgers acquire: INF/OF Cavan Biggio plus cash
Blue Jays acquire: Minor League RHP Braydon Fisher

Biggio was recently designated for assignment by the Blue Jays, a surprising move, even considering his numbers. The 29-year-old, drafted by the Blue Jays back in 2016, was batting .200 with a .614 OPS, and some redundancy had developed with the Blue Jays’ roster depth. In L.A., Biggio will have a great opportunity to re-establish himself as a versatile bench piece to support a stacked lineup.

“He’s got a buddy over there in Teoscar [Hernández], too,” Schneider said.
