Yadier Molina Fires Back at Kris Bryant After Cubs Star Calls St. Louis 'Boring'

The rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals is already heating up this year after a few comments from Kris Bryant irked Yadier Molina.

At the 34th annual Cubs Convention in Chicago on Friday, Bryant shared a story of talking with Nelly at a Florida Georgia Line concert in Las Vegas with Bryce Harper. Bryant told fans and former Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster, who was interviewing the third baseman, that Nelly, a St. Louis native, was trying to convince Harper to sign with the Cardinals.

"[Nelly] was trying to work the magic on Bryce," Bryant said.
