We were mystified that Biggio even managed to make the Royals, and now he’s started eight of the team’s 15 games, all of them at premium offensive positions (he was at first tonight). He’s simply a bad hitter, and he’s particularly poorly suited to Kansas City’s home ballpark. There’d be so many better uses of his roster spot.

Good to see that this odd fascination seems over. Biggio, who is 4-for-14, started five of the Royals’ first seven games, with three of those coming at first base when Vinnie Pasquantino was limited to DH. Biggio did DH on Friday, but the Royals have rotated players in that spot since. Maikel Garcia is actually there tonight.

It’s official. Biggio will open the regular season on Kansas City’s bench. The 29-year-old can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats, but he figures to play a versatile multi-position role for the Royals.

Biggio is not officially on the 40-man roster yet, but he is starting at first base during the Royals’ spring training game on Tuesday and has the positional versatility that the team seems to covet in a bench spot. Biggio hit just .194/.457/.355 this spring and has not even a solid fantasy producer since 2019, so he will likely help the Royals more than fantasy managers in 2025.
