The St. Louis Cardinals announced the release of catcher Chance Sisco from his minor league contract after a lackluster spring training, where he went 0-9 with six strikeouts in seven games. Originally drafted by the Orioles in 2013, Sisco has struggled throughout his five-season MLB career, noted for a .197 average and a significant strikeout percentage of 32.2%. Following his release, the Cardinals plan to pair Iván Herrera and Pedro Pagés for catching duties, while prospect Jimmy Crooks is expected to start the season at Triple-A Memphis.
The Cardinals have released catcher Chance Sisco from his minor league deal after a disappointing performance, which included six strikeouts in seven games.
Sisco, originally a second-round draft pick by the Orioles, struggled offensively in the majors with a career .197 batting average and a high strikeout rate.
The Cardinals will now rely on Iván Herrera and Pedro Pagés for catching duties, with Willson Contreras shifting to first base.
Despite Sisco's arrival last season to the Cards after a gap from affiliated ball, he could not secure his spot on the roster.
