Contreras, 33, was signed as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season as the heir apparent catcher to Yadier Molina. His tenure in St. Louis got off to a rocky start behind the plate as he was temporarily removed from the catching spot with the encouragement of some underachieving starting pitchers. He would re-claim the spot before the seasonβs end, all the while providing his best offensive season in four years.
Mozeliak and Marmol laugh about a reporter using the passive voice instead of naming them.
"...he was temporarily removed from the catching spot with the encouragement of some underachieving veteran starting pitchers..."
