Jeff Weaver may end up returning to St. Louis after all.

Discussions between the Cardinals and Weaver have intensified recently.

"We're still talking to Weaver. I don't know if we'll sign him or not, but we're talking to him," GM Walt Jocketty said Sunday. "We're still looking at ways to improve the club before spring training."

Weaver was initially hoping for a four-year $40 million contract.
