The Milwaukee Brewers are set to acquire pitcher Dustin May and lefty reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals. This trade comes after the Brewers missed out on acquiring Tarik Skubal. May, a rental player, raises the floor of Milwaukee's rotation, while Romero, currently on the injured list, adds left-handed depth to their bullpen. This marks the second consecutive trade deadline where May has been moved, as he was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Boston Red Sox last summer. No official announcements have been made from either team regarding the transaction.
