Angels' Cavan Biggio: Lands with Angels
Cavan Biggio agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.The Royals cut Biggio loose last week after he turned in a .174/.296/.246 slash line across 37 games with the big club. He turned in a .839 OPS at the Triple-A level, however, which will buy him a new opportunity in the Angels' farm system. If the 30-year-old utility man continues to hit well upon reporting to Triple-A Salt Lake, he may be granted a few at-bats with the Halos down the stretch.
