The Cardinals announced this evening that they’ve released catcher Chance Sisco from his minor league deal. The former well-regarded prospect had been in camp as a non-roster invitee but went 0-9 with six strikeouts and a walk in seven games.
Sisco finished last season in Triple-A with the Cards. St. Louis signed him to a minor league deal in September, giving him his first affiliated ball opportunity since 2022. He only appeared in seven Triple-A games but made a positive enough impression that St. Louis brought him back on a new minor league contract over the offseason.
A second-round pick of the Orioles in 2013, Sisco has played parts of five seasons in the big leagues. Almost all of that came with Baltimore between 2017-21. Sisco has hit .197/.317/.337 over 608 career plate appearances. He has hit 16 homers while drawing walks at a 10.2% clip, but his offense has been undercut by a huge 32.2% strikeout percentage. His defensive grades, especially his pitch framing numbers, were generally poor as well.
The Cards will go with an Iván Herrera/Pedro Pagés tandem behind the plate. Willson Contreras is the only other nominal catcher on the 40-man roster, but he’s not expected to log much (if any) time there following an offseason move to first base. Non-roster invitee Yohel Pozo is the only other catcher in the organization who has any MLB experience. Prospect Jimmy Crooks is likely to open the season with Triple-A Memphis and could put himself on the radar for a midseason promotion.
