The St. Louis Cardinals are gearing up for their Wild Card series against the Philadelphia Phillies, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t already making plans for free agency, even though they would rather not have to deal with that for another few weeks. Despite that, it sounds like one of their new star pitchers, Jose Quintana, is already making pitches to potential free agents.

Quintana recently said that Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras reached out to him to ask how he liked playing with the Cardinals. Quintana and Contreras used to be teammates together on the Cubs, and Quintana ended up finding himself in St. Louis when he was traded off the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline. Quintana gave a good review of the Cardinals, before saying he would love to return to St. Louis considering he’s set for free agency this offseason too.
