Cavan Biggio is following in his father’s footsteps.

The son of Astros legend Craig Biggio signed a ​minor league deal with Houston ‌on Sunday.

The contract includes an invitation to spring training as a non-roster player.

Biggio spent 2025 with the Kansas City Royals, ‌though ​he only played in ⁠37 games and ⁠made just 83 plate appearances. His best season came during his rookie year with the Toronto Blue Jays ​in 2019, when he recorded 16 home runs and 48 RBIs ⁠over 100 games.

The ⁠30-year-old Biggio has a career ​average of .223 to go along with 52 ​homers and 190 RBIs across seven ‌seasons with the Royals, Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.

Biggio’s main asset during his big-league career ⁠has been his defensive versatility. He’s played at every position except pitcher and catcher, ⁠including 219 ‌starts at second base ⁠and 104 combined starts at ​all ‌three outfield positions.

Craig Biggio, ​60, spent ⁠20 years with the Astros during his Hall of Fame career.

The Astros will play their first spring training game Feb. 21 against the Washington Nationals.
