Yadier Molina: From Player to Manager, Leading Team Puerto Rico to Victory in World Baseball Classic

 


Yadier Molina, the former St. Louis Cardinals player who recently retired after 19 seasons, is now managing Team Puerto Rico in preparation for the World Baseball Classic. Despite having the option to spend his spring on the beaches of Puerto Rico, Molina felt the opportunity to lead his team in a non-player role was too important to pass up. He even cut his first offseason short as a retired player to manage a professional winter ball squad in Venezuela. Molina's team will play its first game in the tournament on Saturday against Nicaragua.



Despite now being in a position of authority, Molina is still joining in on the fun and traditions of his team, such as dying his hair blond with the rest of his players. Molina is hoping for a deep run in the tournament and is looking forward to the joy that it brings to players from all countries. Molina played in all four previous WBCs and enjoyed every one of them. Although Molina knows that the Dominican Republic is a tough team, he believes that any country can win the tournament and Puerto Rico is aiming to take the gold medal.

Arsenal Survives Against Sporting CP in Europa League Round of 16 First Leg

  In the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 matchups against Sporting CP, Arsenal was not at their best, with moments of sloppiness and disjointed play. However, they were able to leave Lisbon with a 2-2 draw after an eventful 90 minutes of football.   Mikel Arteta made six changes to his starting lineup, with some changes forced upon him and others made in anticipation of upcoming fixtures as Arsenal continues to compete on multiple fronts, including the Premier League title chase.
