He was in town for the weekend festivities.
Nothing else.
The idea that he would be "coaching' was pure propaganda from the marketing team.

Thanks, Mel.

So I did see him in the dugout at the end of the game?

Another informed and dumb statement. You should really observe and learn.

I saw him hanging around a couple of times.
He was not "coaching".
He was a guest - nothing more.

Yadi actually took out the line up card for both Friday and Saturday’s games. He was in the dugout for both games, I’m not sure about today. Curiously, I did not see him, nor was he introduced at the Cardinal Hall of Fame ceremonies.

50 seconds into the "game recap" Yadi can be seen holding up a left handed 3 and a right handed 0. He is standing next to Marmol.

A wanted or a unwanted guest?
After all no real reason to have unwanted
repeating guest.

PR all the way. Zero impact strategically or he would’ve been here weeks before doing prep work.

However, I don’t think it was a PR stunt to dupe Cardinal fans. It was a PR move made on behalf of Yadi as a favor to an old friend who gave a lot to the team.

He really wants to break into the MLB managerial ranks and doesn’t want to be pigeon-holed as an assistant for decades like Oquendo. Seeing him running things for a minute on TV paints him in the light he wants to seen in and stirs conversation.

That alone has no gain.
The Cards might, who am I kidding, the Cards would do that
but why would Yadi when he hasn't a fondness towards MO?

Yadi needs more reason than that. He's attempting something
if nothing more to be included in the dugout, JMO.
