Highly doubt it . Since retiring from playing he has managed in three situations. Would not think he would have interest in being a 'bench coach' .
I may be wrong .
Yadier Molina has managed Puerto Rico's team in the World Baseball Classic and the Criollos de Caguas in the Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League. He also managed in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Don't see him being interested in a bench coach position. If Marmol stays, why would Descalso be replaced?

Why does Yadi want to spend months away from home?

Little tired of the push for Yadi. I think if he was interested he would already be on staff. Of course they “hired” him as a consultant, correct? I’m not sure what he has done in that role.

No. I am hoping for Beltran. Higher baseball IQ, better managerial skills and experience.

You realize many coaches don’t live I. The city they work in, right?

Molina wants to be a manager.

Oh h e l l no!
Yadi has more baseball knowledge and acumen in his little finger than Oli has over his entire career.
And Oli better be gone after this season or BDWJr has made one of the WORST marketing decisions since New Coke.

Not according to Waino and several other Cardinals. They say Yadi is one of the brightest minds in baseball as a player.

I really, really, really hope Oli is NOT the manager of our St. Louis Cardinals in 2026.

I'll stick my neck out and state firmly. There is NO WAY Yadi is ever bench coach for Oli.
In fact I do not foresee any role for Yadi in STL unless they decide to relive past glory and make him manager. Not so sure I like the idea either.
