The NL Central free agent is just going EXPLODED, with the St. Louis Cardinals on horseback to retain longtime starter Adam Wainwright.
Relatively speaking, Wainwright got paid:
Wainwright’s new deal with #STLCards is estimated at $ 8 million. A loyal guy and a legend in Saint-Louis, for good reason.

Wainwright, 39, has actually been pretty good for the Cardinals for the past two years, after it looked like things might be over for him. This year will be his 17th in the big league with the Cardinals. I will appreciate another year rooting against him and being frustrated when he throws the Cubs off with his increasingly meh stuff.
His deal is probably appropriate considering what newbies of his caliber were getting in the market, but I guarantee you the Cardinals weren’t expecting to pay off that much when the offseason began in November.
Now it’s up to the Cardinals to finalize a deal with their other longtime legend, Yadi Molina.
