A report by journalist Mark Saxon of The Athletic revealed that the St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is working on a contract extension that will keep him in the MLB franchise for at least two more years.During the off-season, it was reported that Molina and the Red Birds headquarters were in contact with the goal of reaching a new agreement, and it appears that they will come to fruition. In fact, sources assure that the proposals to continue playing for San Luis include a future position close to management.The veteran catcher hopes to sign a contract that will keep him in the San Luis organization until 2022, at which time he is expected to consider retirement as an active player.Molina comes from a season in which he hit 10 home runs with a .711 OPS in 452 plate appearances, acceptable statistics for a player who has improved remarkably on offense in recent years.Many around baseball find it impossible for Molina to wear a different uniform than the Cardinals, so his deal should be announced as soon as before the start of the 2020 major league campaign.
