Hochman: Yadi 'is made for these moments.' Cardinals catcher inspired stretch run

Bengie stood with his back to the cellophane as the celebration unspooled in front of him, sprayed champagne showering his begoggled brother.

“He is a very serious guy with the game,” said Bengie, a former World Series catcher and current Cardinals Spanish broadcaster. “To now see him smile like this?”

I thought back to that day at Winter Warm-Up. January 2018. Yadi said he'd play three more years, through his contract, “and then, I'm done.” Since then, some people around Yadi have lobbied him to play a fourth, per Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch. Either way, 2020 or 2021 could likely be Yadi's last season.
