Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Delay spent the 2023 season as the Pirates' backup catcher, initially to Austin Hedges and ultimately to Endy Rodriguez. That will be the best-case scenario for him in 2024, as a combination of Rodriguez and Henry Davis is almost certain to account for the majority of plate appearances behind the dish. To dampen Delay's outlook further, the Pirates signed Ali Sanchez to a one-year major league deal early this offseason, leaving him most likely to start the season in the minors. Even if injuries force Delay into a more significant role, he has just a career .078 ISO and .233 batting average across 354 plate appearances in the majors.
Delay was among a rotation of catchers the Pirates used during the 2022 season after trading away Jacob Stallings. He led the team's backstops with 167 plate appearances but was dreadful from an offensive perspective, striking out at a 29.9 percent clip. Delay also had no power to speak of, as illustrated by a .058 ISO. Delay has some defensive value, but that wasn't enough to save his spot on the 40-man roster as he was designated for assignment in November of 2022. Though he remains in the Pirates' organization, Delay shouldn't factor heavily into the team's plans behind the dish in 2023. Even if he does, there won't be any notable production at the plate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Demotion on tap
CPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
June 30, 2024
Delay no longer has a locker in the Pirates clubhouse and is likely to be demoted ahead of Sunday's series finale in Atlanta, reports Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old was called up in mid-June with Henry Davis and Joey Bart sidelined by a concussion and thumb injury, respectively, but Bart is set to return from the injured list Sunday. Delay missed the first two-plus months of the season while recovering from knee surgery and appeared in seven games during his brief time with the Pirates, going 3-for-15 with three doubles and six RBI. Bart and Yasmani Grandal should split catching duties going forward.
