One of the more entertaining features of this part of the offseason is the early winter rumor mill. The Winter Meetings are usually when most of the serious offseason business gets done, and the time in between is best spent speculating on every beat writer’s tweet. To wit, Jon Heyman discussing the possibility of the Yankees signing Yadier Molina.
Molina is 38, coming off a solid-if-unspectacular season behind the plate for the Cardinals, the only franchise he’s ever played for. Of course the Yankees have question marks at catcher as well, with Gary Sánchez probably never becoming the catcher we want him to, and Kyle Higashioka being a 30-year-old who had one good game in 2020 to pull him out of an ugly offensive season.
