Infielder Designated for Assignment by Dodgers in August Joins Braves for Playoff Push

Cavan Biggio is on the move once again.

On Saturday, the Atlanta Braves announced they had acquired the former Los Angeles Dodger from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations.

Because he was under a minor league contract, Biggio was eligible to be traded after the July 30 deadline without needing to clear waivers first.

However, since Biggio joined the Braves after Sept. 1, he cannot be included on their postseason roster. While the Braves could theoretically request an exception, there’s no current indication they plan to pursue that option.
