The St. Louis Cardinals, currently 34-28 in the National League Central, are projected to trade reliever JoJo Romero and starter Dustin May by the August 3 deadline, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. This season marks a surprising success for a team initially focused on rebuilding. The trades are contingent on the Cardinals' position in the Wild Card race; a drop in standings could prompt action. Both pitchers, set to become free agents after the 2026 season, are expected to generate interest among potential suitors.
