Yadier Molina To File Retirement Papers Soon
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has not yet filed his formal retirement paperwork, but he's expected to do so before the conclusion of the World Series. Along with legendary first baseman Albert Pujols, Molina will ride off into the sunset this fall after a Hall of Fame career. But he won't be leaving baseball right away, as he's managing in Venezuela this winter before serving as the skipper for Team Puerto Rico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. The 40-year-old backstop was a 10-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glove winner and two-time World Series champion in 19 big-league seasons. Molina walks away with a career .277/.327/.399 slash line, 176 home runs, 1,022 RBI and 777 runs scored in 2,224 regular season games played.
