Right-handed pitcher Jake Westbrook has only been in St. Louis for two months, and he’s ready to stay there long-term, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

“I’m definitely going to be open-minded about pretty much everything,” Westbrook said. “If they had interest, I’ve definitely enjoyed my time here. I’ve gotten to know the guys well. The organization is definitely one that everybody knows about, that I’ve certainly heard a lot about, and now, firsthand, I’ve gotten to see that everybody was right.”

GM John Mozeliak said the team “obviously has interest” in re-signing Westbrook. The Cardinals will have an exclusive window after the end of the season to negotiate with Westbrook before he can take offers from other teams.

The 33-year-old pitcher is 3-4 with a 3.88 ERA since coming over in a three-team trade from the Cleveland Indians. He is making $11 million in the final-year of a three-year, $33 million contract.
