Brewers bolster pitching staff with trades for May and Senzatela
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers strengthened their pitching rotation ahead of the trade deadline by acquiring right-handed starter Dustin May and left-handed reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee also added right-handed pitcher Antonio Senzatela in a separate deal, sending outfield prospects Josiah Ragsdale and Alexander Frias to St. Louis. May has struggled with injuries throughout his career but has shown flashes of potential this season. Meanwhile, Senzatela comes from Colorado where he faced significant challenges due to the pitching environment. The Brewers made these moves after a quiet lead-up to the deadline, looking to enhance their competitiveness.
