Driven by how his season ended watching from the bullpen and not involved in the Cardinals' elimination from the playoffs, Adam Wainwright knew leaving the ballpark he was not comfortable with that being the end of his career.
He has another finale in mind.
"I'm coming back to go out and win," Wainwright said.
Wainwright and the Cardinals finalized a one-year extension for the 2023 season, as reported earlier Wednesday at the Post-Dispatch, and during a press conference to discuss the contract, the veteran right-hander said the coming season will be his final season.
