Molina deal not likely until after the weekend

Jose Molina visited with Rays doctors this week and is close to finalizing what is likely a one-year deal in the $1 million neighborhood.
The Rays were hoping to have Molina signed on Tuesday, but he has yet to see all the of the team’s doctors. The deal probably won’t be completed until after the weekend.
The right-handed hitting Molina will work in a platoon with either the left-handed hitting John Jaso or the switch-hitting Jose Lobaton.
Molina’s strength is his defense, no surprise since the Rays place a premium on defense at every position, especially behind the plate, where the catcher must control the running game as well as work with the pitchers.
Here are Molina’s career stats: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molinjo01.shtml
