According to the
The Giants are open to bringing Molina back for one year, but don't want to pay him more than the $6 million he made last season. Molina on the other hand wants a two-year deal with a significant bump in pay, so he'll likely look elsewhere. The Giants will likely offer him arbitration as he's a Type A free agent, but won't commit to more than a year with top prospect Buster Posey waiting in the wings. Look for them to target another veteran backstop, like, say, Pudge Rodriguez. Stay tuned.
The
The catching pool in free agency this offseason will be pretty slim, and Molina should be by far the best option assuming Victor Martinez stays in Boston. Molina is 35, so most teams may be reluctant to give him a long-term deal for big money, so it is realistic that he could end up staying in San Fran. Posey will get his chance at some point next season, but Molina could still be a nice fit.
Bengie Molina went 4-for-5, blasted two homers and drove in four in the Giants win over Arizona on Tuesday.
Molina now has 20 homers on the season, which represents a new career high. He has 79 RBI on the season as well, and has been a nice power option at catcher all season.
Bengie Molina is dealing with a left finger contusion, and probably won't catch much for the Giants this weekend, according to
Eli Whiteside will be his primary fill-in, but phenom Buster Posey might get a start, or at least some late-inning duty.
Bengie Molina is getting a day off on Saturday. Molina will be replaced by Eli Whiteside, who will catch starter Brad Penny.
Molina has been playing quite a bit lately, so he is just getting a routine day off. He is hitting the ball well right now, and he should stay hot when he returns to the lineup tomorrow.
