The season is over. Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina are heading to retirement.
Will Adam Wainwright follow them?
All season long Wainwright remained non-committal about his future plans. That didn’t stop fans from speculating on his retirement.
When he began to struggle late in the year, many began to wonder aloud if he was planning to join Molina and Pujols in retirement. The humble Waino, though, just didn’t want to take attention away from the farewell tours of his legendary teammates.
That hypothesis was somewhat reinforced at the last home game. Wainwright got the start instead of extra rest to combat his “dead arm period” heading into the postseason.
