Atlanta acquired Delay from the Pirates on Thursday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Double-A Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Delay was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, but a move to Atlanta will allow him to reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster. However, he'll be demoted to Double-A upon joining his new organization and doesn't figure to serve as anything more than minor-league depth for the duration of the season. Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

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
Fit in Atlanta?
CPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
April 2, 2025
Delay could be a target for Atlanta after Pittsburgh designated him for assignment Tuesday, per Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta could put in a waiver claim but could also explore a trade if it's worried another team is interested in Delay. The 30-year-old played in just seven big-league games last year and has a .610 OPS in 134 contests in his MLB career, but he would provide some veteran catching depth behind rookie Drake Baldwin with Sean Murphy on the injured list with a rib fracture.
