MLB NEWS:Cardinals sign Mulder to two-year deal-Club also locks in Franklin, inks Ankiel, Cabrera to Minors pacts

ST. LOUIS -- Familiarity bred content for Mark Mulder. The left-hander, recuperating from late-summer shoulder surgery, has decided to re-sign with St. Louis. The contract is for two years with a club option for 2009.
Mulder accepted a deal with the Cardinals, for whom he pitched the past two seasons, over relatively similar offers from Cleveland and Texas. He's unlikely to be ready to pitch on Opening Day, and it's unclear when exactly he will be available after undergoing rotator-cuff surgery in September.
