Adam Wainwright’s agent met with Cardinals officials on Thursday to discuss a long-term contract extension, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Wainwright, 31, has expressed interest in reaching an agreement with the team before the start of the season. His agent Steve Hammond said both sides are working hard to get a deal done, and will be talking "lmost everyday."
In 198 2/3 innings last year, Wainwright had a 3.94 ERA and a 3.10 FIP.
