Gordo: Cards re-sign Molina, seek business as usual in '21

Like everyone else, the Cardinals want to get their old life back in 2021.

So the team just had to pull iconic catcher Yadier Molina back from the free-agent pool. It took months, but president of baseball operations John Mozeliak finally did.

“The community, the franchise, the teammates, all the coaching staff . . . they wanted me back,” Molina said during his video call with reporters. “I wanted to be back here.

“In my mind, it was St. Louis (as) my first choice.”

Any other outcome would been unsettling, even in the midst of all the other COVID-19 chaos in sports.
