March 5, 2010 Bengie Molina went 3-for-3 in today's 7-4 win over Colorado. He hit two singles and a two-run homer off Esmil Rogers. Our View:Molina had a strong performance, but fantasy owners should be aware that future star Buster Posey could take his starting gig at some point this season. |
|
January 21, 2010 Bengie Molina has passed his physical, hence finalizing his one-year deal with the Giants, according to Mychael Urban's (Comcast Sportsnet) twitter page. Our View:Molina crushed a career-high 20 homers in 2009, and will remain the Giants' catcher until Buster Posey proves he is ready to take over. |
|
January 19, 2010 In a surprising turn of events, Bengie Molina has agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million deal to stay with the Giants, according to CBS San Francisco. Our View:So the Mets have failed at one of their prime offseason objectives. Beyond the Mets not being set at catcher, Molina's decision to stay by the bay also means the young Buster Posey will not have to start in 2010 after all. Molina should remain a top-ten run producing catcher, while Posey will now likely have no value outside of dynasty leagues. |
|
January 19, 2010 Bengie Molina has apparently rejected the Mets' most recent offer, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. Our View:Olney also said that the Mets may start shifting their focus toward pitcher Joel Pineiro, meaning Molina's eventual signing with them may not be too imminent. |
|
January 13, 2010 Updating an earlier item, Bengie Molina is "close" to signing with the New York Mets, according to Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports. Our View:So one of the offseason's most unnecessary melodramas appears to be finally nearing a conclusion. Expect the deal to be for two seasons. Stay tuned. |
|
January 13, 2010 Updating an earlier report, Bengie Molina could sign with the Mets by the end of the week, according to the New York Post. Our View:He has finally reportedly backed off of his demand for a three-year contract, and is now amendable to a two-year deal. If that is indeed the case, his signing is likely very imminent. Stay tuned. |
|
January 12, 2010 According to ESPNindiser.com, a source reported that Bengie Molina could be a member of the Mets within 2-3 days. Our View:The two parties have been linked for some time, but have also been locked in a stalemate over the length of the deal. Molina wants three years and the Mets don't want to commit to more than one, so perhaps this reports means the two sides are willing to compromise on a two-year deal. Stay tuned as it appears they are very close to coming to an agreement. |
|
January 7, 2010 The Mets are not close to an agreement with free agent catcher Bengie Molina, according to the New York Daily News. Our View:Molina is still hoping for a three-year deal, while the Mets don't want to go longer than one-year with a vesting option. Even though we are talking about the Amazins here, Molina, at age 35, has no shot at getting a three-year contract. |
