Catcher Yadier Molina has agreed to a one-year extension with the St. Louis Cardinals -- reportedly for $10 million -- in what will be his 19th and final season with the team, the Cardinals announced Tuesday

The 39-year-old Molina has spent his entire career with St. Louis, helping lead them to two World Series titles in 2006 and 2011 and being named an All-Star 10 times. 

 

D'backs' Smith Suspended

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Caleb Smith was suspended for 10 games Tuesday and fined an undisclosed amount for having a foreign substance on his glove during a game last week against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Smith had his glove taken after he came off the field in the eighth inning and was ejected. Smith’s suspension is the second of a pitcher this season under Major League Baseball’s crackdown on their use of sticky substances to better grip the ball. Smith is appealing his suspension.

 

Orioles Losing Streak Is 19
