Yadier Molina says he will play three more seasons before retiring
Yadier Molina seems to have his mind made up on his future.
The St. Louis Cardinals catcher said Monday that he intends to play out the final three years of his contract and then retire after the conclusion of the 2020 season.
"Three more years, that's it," Yadier Molina says. He's repeating his plan to complete his contract and then retire. #cardinals #stlcards

Molina signed his three-year deal prior to the 2017 season, and it appears he was well aware at the time that he was signing his final deal as a player. Though he turned 35 last July, he remains quite productive for St. Louis, having hit .273 with 18 home runs — the second-highest tally of his career — in the 2017 season.
