Cardinals project strong trade return for pitcher Dustin May ahead of deadline
Summary

The St. Louis Cardinals are gearing up for potential trades as the August 3 deadline approaches, with Dustin May emerging as a key asset. May, a $12.5 million pitcher, is projected to attract interest from multiple teams if he remains healthy. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report estimates his desirability at 6.5 out of 10, suggesting he can yield a solid return. Despite being not at his pre-injury peak, May's current effectiveness makes him a viable trade candidate. The Cardinals aim to bolster their future by leveraging players who will become free agents after the 2026 season.
