In a recent interview with Bernie Miklasz, Adam Wainwright opened up about the underdog status of the St. Louis Cardinals and how he felt about Jason Heyward‘s remarks about the older core of the Redbirds marking a reason for his departure. In typical Waino fashion, he was respectful while being blunt.
Wainwright, 34, commended Heyward for being a great teammates but suggested that the former Cardinal didn’t feel like carrying the torch for future Cardinals and maybe didn’t feel like being “The One”.
In other words, Heyward wants to follow and not lead, which is fair enough.
