"Pujols and Molina Set to Make Managerial Debuts in Dominican Winter League"

St. Louis Cardinals legends Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina are both expressing interest in managerial roles, with Pujols set to manage the Dominican Winter League’s Escogido Baseball Club and Molina joining the Cardinals as a special assistant. Pujols, known for his baseball IQ, universal respect, mentoring abilities, imposing presence, and media handling, is seen as a potential major-league manager. With Oli Marmol's contract expiring after the season, the pressure is on him in 2024, and the possibility of Pujols or Molina taking over as manager raises questions about the team's succession plan.

Yadier Molina Takes on New Role in Cardinals' Front Office

Yadier Molina has returned to the St. Louis Cardinals as a special assistant to the President of Baseball Operations, with a potential role in the dugout for the upcoming season. The Cardinals are open to trading outfielder Tyler O'Neill, with the Kansas City Royals showing interest. O'Neill's recent struggles and limited team control make him an intriguing trade candidate. The Cardinals are also considering the future of outfielder Alec Burleson, who has drawn trade interest but is seen as having potential for the team's 2024 roster.

"Winter Meetings Kick Off with Horton's Debut, Miley, Molina, and Cubs Buzz"

The Winter Meetings have begun, but there may be less activity this year due to a thinner free agent class and financial uncertainty caused by RSN implosion issues. The Cubs' plans could be fundamentally different depending on whether they sign Shohei Ohtani or Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Cade Horton's impressive debut season could lead to a big league debut by the summer. Joe Kelly is close to a one-year deal with the Dodgers, Yadier Molina will not join the Cardinals' coaching staff, and the Brewers are likely to re-sign Wade Miley.

Cardinals' Controversial Move: Willson Contreras Removed from Catching Duties.

The St. Louis Cardinals' decision to turn away from Willson Contreras as their primary catcher and instead use Andrew Knizner says more about the team's dysfunction than the player. After signing Contreras to a five-year, $87.5 million deal in December, the Cardinals made a U-turn just 33 games into the season. The struggling pitchers prefer to throw to Knizner, but the move feels panicked, unfair to Contreras, and premature. The Cardinals are back to a catching question mark and have made their designated hitter and corner outfield positions more crowded, complicated, and confusing.
