PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. • John Mozeliak said he has received multiple text messages about Bengie Molina's radio comments regarding his brother Yadier Molina's contract situation with the Cardinals, but the general manager had not heard the remarks at the start of Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

"Are they offensive or something?" Mozeliak asked.

No, but pointed.

Mozeliak was not taken aback by the summary he received — Bengie Molina said during a Sirius XM MLB Network Radio interview that Yadier Molina won't hesitate to enter free agency if the catcher does not receive an extension he deems desirable.

"Can't you say that about every player?" Mozeliak asked. "I don't know what's so weird about that."

Mozeliak does not comment on contract negotiations. He was asked about the complexity of negotiations with Molina, a potential Hall of Famer who is a seven-time All-Star with eight Gold Gloves.
