YADIER MOLINA RUMORS
Yadier Molina: He’s No Pujols
BREAKING NEWS: Yadier Molina is not Albert Pujols. The catcher for the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals is entering the final year of his current contract, and, unless extended will become a free agent once the upcoming season ends. And that’s about where the similarities between the redbirds’ catcher, and their former first baseman end.
Molina, 29, has garnered some attention...

Et Tu, Molina? (Pars Duo)
A few years ago I wrote a cautionary piece foretelling the eventual departure of one Yadier Molina — SUPREME JEFFY MANCRUSH — if the Cardinals somehow didn’t resign Albert Pujols to a long, career stabilizing contract. I wrote it flippantly, thinking this will never happen in real life.

Here We Go Again…Maybe
This week, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch caught up with St. Louis Cardinal catcher Yadier Molina to talk about, among other things, his contract situation. Molina’s current deal is set to expire after the 2012 season, which would make the backstop a free agent for the first time in his career.

Defending Yadier Molina
As 2011 became 2012, I predicted that catcher Yadier Molina’s contract situation will be the second-biggest story of the New Year for the St. Louis Cardinals, behind Adam Wainwright’s comeback from elbow surgery. Based on early returns, I may have had the two reversed.

Finalizing the fans’ contract offer to Yadier Molina
Last week, we ran a poll to consider the wide variety of salary options the St. Louis Cardinals might have in offering an extension to catcher Yadier Molina, on the path toward becoming a free agent for the first time following the 2012 season.
To keep that survey manageable, the dollar amounts and years were split into separate questions. That made it difficult to bring the two...

How much should the Cardinals offer Yadier Molina?
In yesterday’s post, we looked at some of the factors surrounding the upcoming free agency of St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. In a poll at the conclusion of the article, I gave readers several voting options to specify what they think the Cardinals should do.

With some St. Louis Cardinals fans still steaming over the circumstances surrounding the painful departure of Albert Pujols, the focus of their concern has moved to next year’s major impending free agent, catcher Yadier Molina.

Molina mum on gesture; Crew not bothered
Yadier Molina made a curious gesture when he reached base during Monday night's Cardinals win over the Brewers, but he wasn't talking about it. And curiously, the Brewers didn't seem bothered by it.
