Yadier Molina Returns to St. Louis Cardinals in Front-Office Role

The 10-time All-Star and nine-time Gold Glove winner will provide invaluable help at the major league level and mentor current catchers.

Yadier Molina, who played 19 seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals, has returned to the team as a special assistant to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak.
Molina, a 10-time All-Star and nine-time Gold Glove winner, played all his 2,224 games for the Cardinals, setting numerous records.
Molina's new role will involve providing help at the major league level and spending time with minor league teams.
The Cardinals hope Molina will work with big league catchers Willson Contreras and Iván Herrera, who have struggled with game-planning and pregame prep work.
Molina served as the manager for Puerto Rico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic after retiring from his playing career.
