Or maybe not. Molina would prefer to be catching in the National League Championship Series at that point, and if so, former big-league catcher Ramon Hernandez will take over the Magallanes club. But ultimately, Molina will be doing something he had little inclination to do several years ago. It was thought then that it would be a problem for Molina to have to deal with media before and after games. But at the time, Molina playfully had jabbed a reporter in the chest and said, “No, that would be a problem for YOU.’’ But Molina has adjusted his stance on managing now as his estimable career soon comes to an end. “Do you have a problem with that?” he asked pleasantly. He said he was going to try it “because I really want it.” Not only will he manage in winter ball, but he appears to be on the short list to manage the Puerto Rican team for which he has played in four World Baseball Classics at the next tournament, which will be held in Miami next March. Puerto Rico finished second to the United States in the 2017 tournament. [/QUOTE]
