Yadier Molina Left The Cardinals Last Weekend For An Odd Reason
Yadier Molina left the Cardinals for "business" during the team's most recent road trip, and now we know why. Turns out, the longtime catcher is the owner of a Puerto Rican basketball team -- Vaqueros de Bayamon -- and joined them during the championship game. Molina, who is in the middle of his 19th and final season, was placed on the restricted list and went unpaid for two days.
