Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Set to split time at catcher
St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Wednesday that Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages will share playing time at catcher next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.Willson Contreras is moving into a first base/designated hitter role, clearing the way for Herrera and Pages to handle catching duties. Herrera is much more intriguing of the two from an offensive standpoint, having slashed .301/.377/.417 in 85 games over the last two seasons with the Cardinals. However, his defense -- and particularly his throwing -- have drawn scrutiny, to the point that Pages leapt him on the depth chart down the stretch.
