Deadline Drama: Five Must-Watch Players and Teams Poised to Shake Up the MLB Trade Market
What now? Much like the White Sox situation, it’s quite the dilemma. Supplement the young core for a playoff push or follow the preseason plan to acquire assets as part of the rebuild or just stand pat, basically? The third one wouldn’t sit well with a fanbase that’s showing life for the first time in a while.
The plan was always to trade Dustin May if he was having a bounce-back season, and he showed during a 12-start stretch from April to June that he can be an effective starter for a playoff team, rattling off a 2.54 ERA with a 2.69 FIP. Thing is, if the Cardinals are going to contend, they’ll likely need to acquire more pitching, not trade it away. Maybe they trade May in one deal and attempt to find a starter with another few years of club control?
