BOOM or BUST: Cardinals LAND Dustin May—Will This POWER Arm Finally BREAK OUT in St. Louis?

St. Louis Cardinals make a high-upside gamble, signing right-handed pitcher Dustin May to a one-year deal with a mutual option. Can May revive his career and anchor a rotation full of question marks? JD Hafron examines the risks and rewards of this move, weighing May’s electric stuff and postseason experience against his extensive injury history and recent health setbacks. Trade rumors swirl as Brendan Donovan attracts aggressive offers from the Mariners and Giants, with top prospects like Jurrangelo Cijntje and Lazaro Montes in the mix. Discussion highlights the Cardinals’ strategy for rebuilding value, potential blockbuster trades, and how recent transactions—including the Phillies’ signing of former ALCS MVP Adolis Garcia—could shift the National League landscape. Will St. Louis’s bold decisions set them up for future contention, or are they courting more disappointment? 0:00 — Cardinals Sign Dustin May 13:25 — Brendan Donovan Trade Rumors 24:42 — Prospect Targets & Adolis García News Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-st-louis-cardinals/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/ Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
