Yadier Molina Joins Cardinals as Temporary Bench Coach for Weekend Series

Former St. Louis Cardinals star catcher Yadier Molina is serving as a temporary bench coach for the team's weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, having joined the dugout for their 5-0 win on Friday night. Molina, a 10-time All-Star and nine-time Gold Glove winner during his 19-year playing career with the Cardinals, reached out to the organization to help out and was invited by manager Oliver Marmol. He aims to assist the catchers and young players, expressing his enjoyment of being back at the field, and plans to consider a full-time MLB coaching role after his son finishes high school.
