The Cardinals have reportedly reached an agreement with longtime starting pitcher Adam Wainwright to return to St. Louis.
Wainwright will re-sign with the Cardinals on a one-year deal believed to be worth $8 million, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman. The agreement means the 39-year-old Wainwright will pitch in his 16th season, all of which have come in St. Louis.
After injuries limited him to just 40 1/3 innings in 2018, Wainwright has been durable and productive over the past two seasons. He's 19-13 with a 3.91 ERA in 41 starts since the start of the 2019 season.
