First and foremost, Bengie Molina is Yadier Molina’s proud big brother. He is one of the Cardinals’ All-Star catcher’s biggest and fiercest supporters.
When I tell you Bengie loves Yadier it’s not hyperbole. We bring it up because it provides context for what transpired Thursday when Bengie gave his thoughts on Yadier’s contract situation with the Cardinals.
In an interview with MLB Radio, the oldest of a Molina trio of two-time World Series champions lamented that the Cardinals hadn’t extended Yadier’s contract.
“I’m not saying anything bad about anybody,” Bengie said later Thursday, via a phone interview with the Post-Dispatch.
