: Cardinals To Extend Yadier Molina
: By Tim Dierkes [February 29, 2012 at 7:28am CST]
: The Cardinals are in agreement on contract extension terms with catcher Yadier
: Molina, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Heyman believes it's a five-year,$75MM
: contract. On Monday, Joe Strauss ofthe St. Louis Post-Dispatch tweeted that
: terms were all but finalized, while Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports said a contract
: in the $70-75MM range was veryclose. Molina is represented by Melvin Roman of
: MDR Sports Management.
: Molina, 29, is considered by many to be the game's best defensive catcher.His
: offense took a leap forward in 2011, as he posted a .305/.349/.465 line in 518
: plate appearances. Molina has been durable, averaging 145 games over the last
: three years including the postseason. The $15MM salary and five-year term
: probably represents market value for Molina, but it may have been more
: difficult for GM John Mozeliak to hammer out a deal after the season.
: Molina's contract is the third-largest in baseball history for a backstop,
: behind Joe Mauer's $184MM and Mike Piazza's $91MM. On the Cardinals, Molina is
: second only to Matt Holliday in average annual value. This is Molina's second
: multiyear deal with the Cardinals, as they locked him up affordably four years
: ago.
: The 2012-13 free agent class for catchers remains deep with Molina off the
: board, with Miguel Montero, Mike Napoli, Russell Martin, and Chris Iannetta.
