Yadier Molina and the St Louis Cardinals recently engaged in contract talks, but could Travis d’Arnaud’s extension impact them?

The St. Louis Cardinals recently engaged in contract extension negotiations with Yadier Molina and the expectation is that they will eventually reach an agreement on a one-year deal. But while they continue to negotiate, the Atlanta Braves signed their catcher Travis d’Arnaud to a two-year, $16 million extension that includes an $8 million club option for 2024.
