ST. LOUIS — Andrew McCutchen is not worried.

Although rumors persist that the five-time All-Star outfielder might be moved by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the offseason, he remains philosophical about his future.

“My mindset is just to do my job and get myself in the best shape I can get myself in for next year,” McCutchen said following the Pirates’ 10-4 season-ending loss at St. Louis on Sunday.

“That’s all out of my control,” he added. “All I can do is be myself and work hard and go from there.”

McCutchen is guaranteed $14 million next season and could become a free agent sometime in the next two years.

“I think it’s fair to say we’re going to continue to explore how we can get this club back into the postseason,” general manager Neal Huntington said. “We love this core. At the same time, if there’s a significant move that we think gives us a better chance to get back to the postseason in ’17 and ’18, that’s something we’ll be open to.”

Matt Carpenter homered and Randal Grichuk keyed a six-run seventh-inning with a two-run double to lead St. Louis to its fourth win in a row.

However, the Cardinals (86-76) were eliminated while still on the field when San Francisco (87-75) beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-1 and earned the second NL wild card.

“That’s the danger when it’s not in your hands anymore,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “Our focus was to take care of our own business - and we did that.”

St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright allowed two runs on six hits over six innings and did not get a decision.

“To miss the playoffs by one game — that’s tough to swallow,” Wainwright said. “You think about how many times you could’ve won games, or just one or two games, and you didn’t. It gets you to thinking back a little bit.”

St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday was brought into the game momentarily to play left field in the ninth inning. He was given a standing ovation and taken out before the first pitch. The Cardinals announced Friday they plan to decline his 2017 option and allow him to become free agent.

“How special was that?” Matheny said. “What instigated it was the response of the fans, so badly they wanted to see him one more time.”

After making the playoffs for three straight years, Pittsburgh dropped from 98-64 to 78-83.
