Yadier Molina has spoken, and he’s ready to return to professional baseball.
In a new Instagram post, the St. Louis Cardinals legend said he’s prepared to coach or manage in MLB, Mexico, or anywhere that will give him the chance.
Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer react to Yadi’s message, discuss how it connects to Albert Pujols’ reported managerial opportunities, and break down what Chaim Bloom and Oli Marmol might be thinking about bringing Molina back to St. Louis.
Could we see Molina managing another MLB team before the Cardinals? Plus, a look at how many ex-Cards could be running dugouts by 2026.

Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer take you back to October 9, 2019, St. Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves, winner-take-all NLDS Game 5.
St. Louis put up 10 runs in the first inning at SunTrust Park, the most ever to open a postseason game, then cruised to a 13-1 series-clinching win.
Jack Flaherty worked 6 strong innings, 104 pitches, and Mike Shildt even made a rare bottom-of-the-first defensive switch, inserting Harrison Bader after the eruption.
We walk through the inning pitch by pitch, the Kolten Wong sacrifice, the Tommy Edman double, the Dexter Fowler and Wong gap shots, the wild pitch, and how Mike Foltynewicz’s Game 2 gem gave way to a nightmare start in Game 5.
