ST. LOUIS - It's the first St. Louis Cardinals season without Yadier Molina as the primary catcher in nearly two decades, and things haven't quite gone as planned for his heir. Willson Contreras signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract in the offseason, the largest deal the Cardinals have ever rewarded to a free agent who didn't previously play for the franchise previously. It's a deal the three-time All Star signed with the intention to not only follow the footsteps of Molina, but join a competitive squad. Police tie 12-year-old girl to overnight crime spree Less than halfway through his first Cardinals campaign, Contreras has dealt many roadblocks that have left those visions unfulfilled. Last month, as the Cardinals struggled to navigate out of an eight-game losing skid, Contreras was informed of a plan that led to fewer starts at catcher and, for nearly a week, being used exclusively at designated hitter. The plan essentially stripped his duties as starting catcher at a piv...
