Molina, 41, played 19 seasons for the Cardinals
and retired after the 2022 season, serving as the manager for
Puerto Rico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
"We are excited to welcome Yadi back to the St. Louis
Cardinals," said Mozeliak. "He will provide invaluable help at
the major league level, as well as spend time with our minor
league teams in his new role with the team."
A nine-time Gold Glove award winner and 10-time National League
All-Star, Molina played in the World Series four times (2004,
2006, 2011, 2013) and won World Series championships in 2006 and
2011.
Molina was drafted by the Cardinals in the fourth round (113th
overall selection) of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft out
of Bayamon, Puerto Rico. He batted .277 with 176 homers and
1,022 RBIs in 2,224 games from 2004-22.
