NEW YORK — With this September playing out for the team like every previous September he’s spent with the Cardinals, Matt Carpenter knows for sure there is something unfamiliar awaiting him at its end that could mean this is his last September with them.
“I don’t want this particular season to be the end of my career, and I certainly do have hopes of continuing to play,” Carpenter said Monday after batting practice at Citi Field before the Cardinals played the New York Mets.
