Blue Jays: Where Does Cavan Biggio Play in 2021?

Rumors and speculations are running rapid in the Blue Jays fan base and with several names being fantasized about, one player currently on the club will be impacted heavily in almost every scenario that plays out with a new player coming in.

It seemed as soon as the Blue Jays 2020 season ended, there were already rumors on how the team was going to get better for the 2021 season.

Whether it was reports of trade talks with the Cleveland Indians for Francisco Lindor, making a splash in the free agent market by signing George Springer, or simply by moving Vladimir Guerrero Jr back to third base.  Each of these situations and many more will have an impact on where Cavan Biggio will find himself playing in the upcoming season.  I will look at the potential positions that Biggio could end up playing.

In figuring out where Biggio could end up, I have to look at where he won’t be playing or where it is unlikely he’ll play.  The one position I can say with certainty is catcher as that is a specific position that he has no background playing and is an easy scratch off the list. The highly unlikely position is shortstop; as the only way Bo Bichette isn’t playing that spot next season is if they get an even better player in that position, and in that case Biggio isn’t taking that spot.  The third position, I would be very doubtful is right field.  The Blue Jays need to find spots for both Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez, so one of them will be penciled into that position each day.  Biggio could find himself in that position for the odd game, but not full-time for the entirety of the season.

So with three of the eight defensive positions off the table, I believe there is a possibility of Biggio playing any of the remaining five positions.
