As Cardinal Nation awaits the MRI results on Yadier Molina‘s left thumb, it’s once again time to ponder who will eventually be the next catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals when Molina and Father Time finally meet more intimately. More importantly, a suitable backup for the future Hall of Famer. Molina has played in 1,464 games and turned 33 years old in July. Eventually, he won’t be able to catch 130 games a season, something he has done six times in his career.
