It’s been a year since Yadier Molina announced his retirement from the Cardinals and receded into the comforts of impending Hall of Fame enshrinement.
Yadier Molina reached the 2,000-career hit plateau Thursday evening with a seventh-inning single to center field. Molina becomes only the 15th catcher in Major League Baseball history and sixth St. Louis Cardinals hitter to reach the career milestone.
Joe Mauer was one of the best catchers of the 2000s. But did he do enough to be enshrined in Cooperstown? Jordan Leander takes a look at the Minnesota native’s career.
Chicago White Sox
Outfield – Eloy Jiménez – 6yrs $43 Million
Before contract: .000 AVG, Average Home Runs Per Season, 0 Average RBI Per Season 0

After playing just four games this season, Jackie Bradley Jr. injured his knee and was placed on the 10-day disabled
