Best Podcast in Baseball 8.10: Catching Up, Counting Down

This past week Cardinals veteran Yadier Molina, a constant at catcher for nearly two decades, suggested that he would pursue free agency this winter if he and the team cannot come to an agreement on an extension. He previously had said he would either play for the Cardinals or retire. Now, he wants to play. His preference is to be a Cardinal. But his priority is to play. St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Benjamin Hochman joins podcast host Derrick Goold, a baseball writer at the newspaper, to discuss his column about Molina, about the need to re-sign him and a motivation behind Molina's comments. Hochman and Goold also discuss the various plans for baseball's return from the coronavirus shutdown and indefinite delay of the season, and Goold asks that pressing question, as first articulated by Michael Keaton in 'Batman': "You wanna get nuts? C'mon, let's get nuts." The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
