Earlier today, news broke out that the St. Louis Cardinals‘ best catcher of all time Yadier Molina was going to be out through the majority of the spring training. This scares me, we could be looking at this creeping into the regular season. So, my mind has been at work thinking about what the team could possibly do to make the injury/recovery hurt less.
I am not sure the team will necessarily look to go outside the organization to acquire a second backup catcher, but this is a possibility. With the loss of Jason Heyward the club does have payroll flexibility to entice a catcher to come over on a potential short term basis.
