Hochman: Yadi's news highlights need for urgency

Three more years.

“And then,” Yadier Molina said, “I’m done.”

The great catcher said it multiple times Monday — when his contract ends after the 2020 season, so will his career.

So therefore, Yadi, can you describe the sense of urgency to win in those three years?

“Oh, yeah,” he said, flashing his famous smile. “I can’t wait to grab that trophy in October or November. Three more trophies, three more championships. … The front office is doing a good job, putting a good team out there, and we’re confident we can do it.”

Earlier in his media session at Winter Warm-Up, Molina spoke optimistically of the Cardinals’ upgrades, mentioning Marcell Ozuna, Luke Gregerson and the Japanese League pitcher Miles Mikolas.
