St. Louis Cardinals: Why not both Wainwright… and Freese?

Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to one-year extension on Thursday. According to Jenifer Langosch, terms of the deal were not disclosed, but believed to be a ‘low base salary’ with ‘significant incentives.’

My Redbird Rants co-contributor, Austin Roberts, wrote a piece covering the news of Wainwright’s re-signing and you can read it here.

On Tuesday, Bernie Miklasz reported that the St. Louis Cardinals attempted a trade with the Pittsburgh PIrates for David Freese before the waiver trade deadline on August 31. However, according to Miklasz, the Pirates didn’t want to trade Freese to a NL Central division rival.
