With the World Series ending Tuesday night, this year’s class of expiring contracts across the league officially became free agents as of noon Eastern on Wednesday. For the first time in his illustrious big-league career, Yadier Molina is included on that list.
Officially, the Cardinals’ catcher since 2004 is not currently a Cardinal.
The three-year contract extension Molina signed with the Cardinals in March 2017–with the intention it would be his last deal as a player–ran through the end of the 2020 season.
Other free agents for St. Louis include Brad Miller and Matt Wieters.
