Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Splitting catching duties
St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Wednesday that Pedro Pages and Ivan Herrera will split catching duties next season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.Willson Contreras will be a first baseman and designated hitter moving forward, clearing a path to playing time at catcher. Pages was the preferred option over Herrera down the stretch of the 2024 season while Contreras was hurt, mostly because he's viewed as a much better defender. The 26-year-old Pages slashed .238/.281/.376 with seven homers over 68 contests this past season.
