Cardinals splitting from Wainwright?
Adam Wainwright arm injury could keep him from being a Cardinal next season. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Cardinals have an escape clause built into Wainwright's contract. If the pitcher finishes 2011 on the disabled list, (which he ultimately will because of elbow surgery), they can decline the 21 million option for 2012 and allow him to become a free agent.
"I'm not thinking about setbacks," Wainwright said. "I'm thinking about getting ready. I'm thinking about helping this team next year."
After a brief pause, he said, "helping some team next year." (St. Louis Dispatch)
