Molina was reportedly discussing a contract extension with the Cardinals back in mid-March, just before spring training was suspended amid the coronavirus outbreak, but the two parties obviously never finalized anything and the future Hall of Fame catcher is currently scheduled to become a free agent in November. "Obviously, St. Louis is my first option," said Molina. "But if they don't sign me, then I'm willing to go into free agency. This situation has changed my mentality and all I want to do is play ... right now, I'm thinking of playing two more years." Yadi turns 38 years old in July.
