Can we have him call pitches?
Kidding aside, this is good for the organization. Love me some Marciano!
1 step closer to coaching?
Dad has finally came back with the milk and cigarettes.
Special Assistant *to* the President of Baseball Operations
Idk what the role actually is but if it leads to something big I’m for it
Yadi got Dwight’s job?
I’ll always respect that Oli actively seeks out and asks for Yadi to be around as much as possible despite a loud portion of the fanbase wanting that to be his replacement
Marmol is a lame duck manager. Whenever the rebuild is over, Yadi is the next manager.
Yadi updating his business card and LinkedIn as we speak!
I applied for this position and thought I had a real shot. It hurts finding out this way.
Hasn’t this already happened once though. I mean I’m happy to see good news and any relationship with Molina coming back is cool and all, but what does this really even mean? Because the skeptic in me is having a hard time seeing that as no more than a publicity stunt to drive attendance. Won’t be getting hopes up until he’s actually on staff and in the dugout or contributing to the farm system.
was he not already the special assistant to the POBO? unless i’m mistaken, i’m pretty sure he already had this role last year.
If he’s at opening day, that “welcome back, number four” announcement from the U-Man is gonna hit like crack
Would love too see him as a spring training coach
Love this!
👑
Again? Are they just doing this every offseason now?
Oh man already time for the annual Yadi has a front office job post.
Hold on did I pick up the wrong book? I swear I’ve read this one before.
Isnt this the job title he had last year?
I don’t believe they’d make him manager for 1 reason.. if he was bad, they’d have to fire him. I don’t know that they want “Cardinals fire Yadi” to ever be a headline.
It definitely cannot hurt.
Finally a glimmer of hope
It’s going to be so fun to watch people shit a brick when Chaim extends Oli during spring training
This is what the Royals did with Matheny. I’m not sure if that’s a good omen or a bad omen.
Of course, with this sub it’s more about bitching about Oli as a terrible manager including he’s the worst manager of this century than Molina joining the team.
Over/under still 73.5 wins, so what
Yadi in a suit is gonna be funny.
Another catcher!
We are so winning it all this year
I thought groundhogs day wasn’t for a couple more weeks.

The same position he was named to December 2023. Did he really ever leave the position to begin with?
