Wainwright: Holliday wants to return to Cards

"I think he'll be back," Wainwright told the morning radio program. "I know Matt, know his family, and know he wants to back. It's going to take a perfect situation to get him to leave." The comments, however valid, won't sit well with Holliday's agent, Scott Boras, who rightfully seeks top dollar for his clients. If Holliday is looking for the most lucrative deal, he's not likely to find it in St. Louis. But if he's truly happy in the environment and hopes to stay, he can always call off the dogs and sign for a contract that will, either way, be fairly handsome.
