Willson Contreras is close to becoming major league free agentafter fulfilling and making a mark within the Chicago Cubs since the 2016 season, in which they were champions of the World Series. The Cardinals of San Luis, apparently calls the attention of Contreras to render his services, after the retirement of Yadier Molina of the Big Top, after the postseason.
Contreras could be a good substitute for Molina, his style of play and skill with the post could complete the San Luis team and the native of Puerto Cabello is considering it. In fact, he confessed that his friend José Quintana, pitcher for the Red Birds, recommended him to sign with the team in the offseason.
“Quintana told me that it really is a good team and that he likes it there. Worse so far we don’t know what can happen” declared the Venezuelan to Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports.
