Contract Value Index (CVI)
Pedro Pages' one-year, $0.8M deal with the Cardinals earns a solid B CVI, representing smart roster construction at baseball's most demanding position. Catching depth is perpetually valuable in MLB, and Pages provides exactly that — a rotational backstop who can handle the defensive responsibilities without breaking the bank. At close to league minimum, this contract carries virtually zero risk while addressing a clear organizational need behind the plate. The Cardinals get positional flexibility and veteran presence in their catching corps, essential for managing workloads across a 162-game season. For a rotational player at catcher, Pages delivers exactly what you'd expect at this price point — reliable defense and game management skills that won't show up in traditional stats but matter enormously to pitching staff development. This is textbook value shopping in the catching market, where even replacement-level options command respect due to positional scarcity.
Performance Analysis
Pedro Pages grades as a solid performer among MLB catchers, earning a B- Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.233 batting average and a 0.643 OPS (well below the league average of .720) this season. With 18 home runs and 72 RBI through 180 games (a 16-HR, 65-RBI pace over a full season), he brings moderate power to the lineup. As a sophomore at 27, Pedro is a key contributor for the Cardinals. A 180-game sample provides high confidence in this grade.
