The St. Louis Cardinals and Carlos Martinez share mutual interest in coming to terms on a contract extension.

The two sides plan to discuss a deal in the coming months and could reach an agreement before the 2017 season.

Previously, the Cardinals have signed Adam Wainwright, Matt Carpenter, Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong to extensions during spring training.

Martinez is currently on track to make his first trip through arbitration during the offseason.
