So, the Molina rumors are 100% tied to the virus. Rumors of a possible extension were happening during ST, but financial landscape for baseball has changed dramatically. Cards are anticipating a need to cut payroll in '20. Wrote about this here: https://t.co/YIBVy6YY6Q

I’m sorry, I just can’t buy the “poor midwestern team” the Cardinals seemingly always want to spin when they cheap out.

Not that I necessarily believe extending Molina is the right thing to do, either. I know he’s a legend in St. Louis, but he will be no matter what. Extending a 38 year old catcher isn’t smart no matter how big of a legend he is.

its going to be tough but as you said, extending a 38 year old catcher makes no sense.

I agree on the cheap ass Dewitt’s. They paid $75 million in cash for the Cardinals. Worth $2 Billion now. Telling us you can’t afford something is being disingenuous.
