Cardinals Shut Door on Yadier Molina Coaching in 2026, Here’s Why

Bernie Miklasz breaks down Katie Woo’s report at The Athletic that the St. Louis Cardinals do not expect Yadier Molina to be on the MLB coaching staff in 2026, and he explains why fans kept hearing the opposite. Bernie lays out Chaim Bloom’s plan for 2026, why the Cardinals do not want to undermine Oli Marmol during a rebuild, and why bringing in a franchise icon like Yadi right now would create a nonstop manager-in-waiting circus. He also reacts to the Cardinals beefing up pro scouting, player development, and international scouting, and to Adam Olsen being moved into a front office role. This is about rebuilding the Cardinals the right way, not doing nostalgia hires to win the news cycle. 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
