Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Could be odd man out at catcher
Pedro Pages could be the odd man out at catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.Pages has led the team in starts behind the plate each of the last two seasons. However, the Cardinals plan to use a combination of Ivan Herrera and Jimmy Crooks at catcher next season, leaving Pages without a clear path to playing time. The 27-year-old has minor-league options remaining, but prospect Leonardo Bernal is expected to serve as the primary catcher at Triple-A Memphis in 2026. As a result, Pages could be a trade candidate this offseason.
