Aannnd there it is: the news we have been speculating about... all season? At least since September and definitely since the season ended. The news has broke that Adam Wainwright will return to the Cardinals in 2023.
Adam Wainwright will be returning to #stlcards for the 2023 season, Post-Dispatch has been told. Look for news story shortly @stltoday.

My official stance on this was that I thought he might retire — simply because it seemed like the team was acting like he was going to retire — but would not be surprised if he returned for another season.
