Because you cherry picked two stats from what so far can only be described as an outlier year for Grandal.
Grandal before 2016- 118 wRC+
Grandal in 2016- 122 wRC+
The idea that it was a crazy outlier year has been debunked.
Molina was a great player. Borderline MVP candidate in his prime, but I fail to see what he does better than Grandal now. Grandal is the better hitter, framer, and he even threw out a higher percentage of runners last year. I'm sure Molina calls a great game, but I doubt it makes up for all of that. Molina has been more durable, but at 34 that may change soon too.

Are you aggregating his pre-2016 numbers? What exactly is your methodology. Want to make sure I'm looking at the same data. His big stretches in the majors prior to 2016 were worse than his part time numbers last year.

You're using one stat to show it's not an outlier. Like any baseball stat wrc+ is far from perfect. His career slg% was 409 before last year when it was .477. Career OPS was .760 and last year it was .816. The best ISO he had was .175, last year it was .249. Anyone looking at it objectively can see he had a career year last year
