As reported by, well, everyone the Saint Louis Cardinals have agreed to a contract extension with catcher Yadier Molina. The deal will start in after the 2012 season, essentially making it a 6 5 year, 75 million dollar contract according to multiple reports, with a mutual $15M option for 2018.

When reached for comment the long time backstop got a little emotional.

Geez... take it easy, cry baby.
