Cardinals notebook: Creating bond with pitching staff a priority for Willson Contreras

On the same day that he got to know Cardinals fans on Monday during Day 3 of Winter Warm-up, recently signed catcher Willson Contreras shared his plans for how he hopes to get to know his new teammates with spring training and the 2023 season nearing.

Contreras’ plan, which he said was texted to Adam Wainwright when the veteran right-handed starting pitcher asked, is to report to the Cardinals’ training complex in Jupiter, Florida, next week and continue reporting there at least twice a week (on Mondays and Thursdays) in the lead up to spring training.
