The Cardinals are nearing an agreement on a contract extension with Yadier Molina. It will likely make Molina just the seventh catcher in baseball history to receive a deal with an average annual value exceeding $10 million. St. Louis remains engaged in talks with Molina's agent, Melvin Roman, who has remained in town for nearly a week. Molina is entering the final installment of a five-year deal that pays him $7 million for the upcoming season.
