-Molina off to Caribbean Series with #Cardinals offer waiting on him.
–#stlcards have not actively sought reunion with Wong.
-And more on CMart… https://t.co/8i4ddrlHe0

Heyman scoops the locals…
#STLCards are bringing back Adam Wainwright. Believed to be 1 year deal.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) January 29, 2021
Wainwright’s new deal with #STLCards is believed to be for $8M. Loyal guy, and a legend in St. Louis, for good reason.

Cards have now outspent the entire rest of the NL Central by a factor of 2, unless I missed something today. Well done. Lol
Also, I felt he would get less than Happ got, and jj had a better bead on Waino’s value. Good call, jj.
The one thing that I wish he could do more than anything is to impart some of his character, some of his sense of dignity, of respect for the fans, and the game itself, into some of the young pitchers that we have.
Agree, mudville. Especially one.
JJ – only when moves are made. Don’t want to be a nuisance.
Take care. Be well.
BCThe war horse will only get $8 MM if he achieves appearance incentives, per Goold. I haven’t seen the guaranteed base reported yet.
After Jeff Jones tweeted that Kolten sounded like a guy who wouldn’t be back in St Louis, Kolten tweeted this…
It’s a joke Jeff! We all know it’s a business just happy to see waino back

Where did you see that, gscottar?
Last night, MLBTR erroneously reported that 5+3 based on a tweet from Nightengale that was simply restating what Wainwright made LAST year. They later took that down.
Not sure if this is worth much, but here is a spotrac link saying 5MM base and 3MM incentives. They cite Baseball Prospectus and Rotoworld as general sources for contract info.
Without specific attribution, that could be based off the same mistake made by MLBTR. FWIW, I am always leery of Spotrac, personally.
In a media call this morning, Wainwright told us that a couple of teams offered more than St. Louis.
Interestingly, Adam also publicly thanked the Post-Dispatch writers by name for writing articles saying that he should be re-signed….
Waino is a class act. I hope he has a good year that ends with him getting the fan send-off he deserves in Busch.

That may have been where I saw it. I can’t find anything about it now.
This is the one area where Heyman is actually valuable. If anyone can get scoops on contract amounts it is him so maybe he will post something soon.
