Cardinals named Yadier Molina special assistant to the president of baseball operations.

We’re kind of confused by this, as Molina was already named a special assistant to the president of baseball operations for the Cardinals after the 2023 season. But apparently that arrangement quietly ended at some point. It’s back on now with Chaim Bloom having replaced John Mozeliak as the leader of the Cardinals’ front office. The 43-year-old Molina has made no secret of his desire to manage in the bigs someday. He will be at the helm for Team Puerto Rico in the WBC.
