Looking at our current infield, Cavan Biggio was going to be relegated to backup. $2.75 million for a backup is too much for me personally.

So now is the time to let him go off elsewhere and be a starter. Here is the trade to Colorado!

Here is Cavan's profile. He is a captain, but his career OPS is .750.
His first full season with us was outstanding, but the last two have been below average.
I like his eye, base running and his defense, but it is replaceable internally.

Colorado does have two shortstops in Garret Hampson and Brendan Rodgers (so one of them could play 2B in theory).

We are also sending them Gio Arriera. He is only 24 and only has one season at AAA, but his career MiLB stats are unimpressive.

The first player we are getting back is left fielder Garrett Bodine. He was 15th overall in 2021 out of college. It will be interesting to see how he hits throughout the minors (only been in rookie ball so far).

The second player we are getting is first baseman Grant Lavigne. He was 42nd overall in 2018.
He did very well in AA last year, so it will be interesting to see how he fairs in AAA this coming season.
