According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Cardinals have had preliminary conversations to bring back Adam Wainwright. General Manager Michael Girsch has described it as “general conversations” about a 2019 return. Essentially, they are at a first step of deciding if the former ace wants to return.
The bigger the game, it seemed the better Wainwright would pitch. The 37 year old posted a 4.84 ERA over 22 innings in September. During that time, he struck out 25 batters and walked four in a solid return to play.
