Former St. Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina took to social media on Thursday morning to announce he's ready to return to baseball.
Molina has been away from the game for three years since he retired from the MLB, and now he's ready to return as a coach or manager.
The retired catcher spent 19 years in the MLB, and has all the experience one could ask for in any manager or coach.
Yadier Molina wants to return to baseball
Molina played his entire 19-year career with the Cardinals, and won two World Series. The Cardinals' great was a 10-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glove winner, four-time Platinum Glove winner, a Silver Slugger winner and Roberto Clemente award winner.
A resume doesn't get much more decorated than Molina's, especially for a catcher. Now, the retired catcher is ready to get back into baseball.

"Throughout my career I have had countless satisfactions inside and outside the field," Molina wrote on social media. "After three years off the lines I am ready to return to the field of play, either as a coach or leader, MLB, Mexico or where I can continue my career in baseball helping and contributing in the sport that I am passionate about."
Molina is very close with Cardinals' current manager Oli Marmol, and has stayed close with the higher ups within the Cardinals' organization.
Marmol invited Molina as a guest coach for two of St. Louis' series during the 2025 regular season, as there's been discussions about a potential coaching position for Molina on the Cardinals.
In a post on Instagram, Yadier Molina says he’s “ready” to return as a coach or manager. This echoes what he said in St Louis this past season, but moves it up a year. Many job open.

There's no indication Marmol's job is in jeopardy, but Molina could find another coaching job within the Cardinals' organization.
It seems like a no-brainer for St. Louis. Molina is one of the greatest players in Cardinals' history and played his entire 19-year career for the organization.
