Both the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright said on Saturday that they expect to discuss a contract extension soon.

Wainwright declined to set a deadline for an agreement.

"It's a little more open-ended," John Mozeliak said. "It doesn't look like we've had any dialogue to this point (with) any lines drawn in the sand. We'll see the next four weeks and see where we go."

The 31-year-old is entering the final year of a contract that will have paid him $36 million over six years.
