Dustin May Is Boosting His Free Agent Stock
On Monday night at Busch Stadium, Dustin May made the most impressive start of his major league career. The right-hander was perfect through six and finished with a one-hit, one-walk shutout. He threw 101 pitches. He struck out nine. If it weren’t for Jacob Misiorowski’s 15-strikeout tour de force last Friday, this might have been […]

Cardinals To Select Max Rajcic
The Cardinals are calling up right-hander Max Rajcic, reports Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Fellow righty Chris Roycroft will be optioned as the corresponding active roster move.

The Giants’ More Appealing Expensive Trade Candidate
Above only the Rockies in the National League, the Giants are seemingly beginning preparation to sell at the deadline.

Those are all self-explanatory. Arraez is an […]
