Cardinals face tricky negotiation with Yadier Molina , Sports News Online
The normal process for clubs trying to extend a player entering his free-agent year is to ask, “What would he be worth on the open market?”
With the Cardinals’ Yadier Molina, it’s not quite that simple.
Molina, 34, is the pre-eminent catcher of his era, a likely Hall of Famer, a four-time World Series participant and two-time champion.
Ideally, Molina will retire a Cardinal. One day, the team might erect a statue of him outside Busch Stadium. So, he would not be your standard 35-year-old, free-agent catcher, the kind of player who recently has been treated rudely on the open market.
The Cardinals are talking about an extension with Molina, as first reported by Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Molina’s agent, Melvin Roman, says, “Both sides are trying to work hard and see if we can make it happen.” But to complete a deal, both sides must give.
