The projected number one free agent starter for next offseason is off the
market.  The Cardinals have agreed to a five-year, $97.5MM extension with
righty Adam Wainwright that covers the 2014-2018 seasons, tweets Ken Rosenthal
 of FOX Sports. Wainwright, 31, is represented by Steve Hammond of Aegis Sports
 Management. He was set to enter free agency next year as the top pitcher
available on MLBTR's Tim Dierkes's 2014 Free Agent Power Rankings.

The Cards were reportedly working on an extension with their All-Star hurler at
 various points throughout the spring, with both team and player reportedly
preferring to leave Florida with a new deal in place.  Wainwright's new deal
falls short of the six-year, $127.5MM extension signed by Matt Cain with the
Giants a year ago as well as Zack Greinke's six-year, $147MM deal with the
Dodgers achieved in free agency.  Aside from the shorter term, Wainwright's
average annual value of $19.5MM is short of Cain($21.25MM) and Greinke
($24.5MM).  One potential reason for the difference in the extended pitchers:
Wainwright's extension begins with his age 31 season, while Cain's began with
his age 27 campaign.  It should be noted that with Cain's deal, it was actually
five years and $112.5MM in new money, since he was already under contract for
2012.  Greinke's contract, of course, was signed after open bidding.

Wainwright notched a 3.94 ERA, including 8.3 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9, over 198 2/3
innings with the Cards in his first season back from Tommy John surgery.  He
posted a 3.51 ERA from May 6th onward.  As Rosenthal notes in his full article
 discussing the extension, Wainwright has pitched to a career 3.15 ERA in the
majors.  He began his big league career as a successful reliever in '06.  In
March 2008, Wainwright inked a four-year, $15MM extension with the Cardinals,
and the team chose to exercise a dual club option covering the 2012 and '13
seasons.

With the contracts of Chris Carpenter and Jake Westbrook set to expire after
this season, Wainwright will be the elder statesman of the rotation.  He's
signed through 2018, and Jaime Garcia potentially through 2017.  Lance Lynn
is under team control through 2017, and promising youngsters such as Shelby
Miller and Trevor Rosenthal through 2018.  Well-regarded prospects Carlos
Martinez and Michael Wacha are also waiting in the wings.

5年$97.5M,一個雙方都可以接受的價.
