Will Leitch of MLB.com identifies five starting pitchers the St. Louis Cardinals could target in free agency to replicate their successful strategy with Dustin May. After signing May to a one-year, $12.5 million deal last winter and later flipping him to the Milwaukee Brewers for top prospects, the Cardinals could pursue similar veteran bounce-back arms this offseason.
The proposed free-agent targets include left-handers Kris Bubic and Foster Griffin, alongside right-handers Tyler Mahle, Jack Flaherty, and a potential reunion with May. Leitch suggests these pitchers present opportunities for St. Louis to bolster its starting rotation on short-term deals while potentially generating future trade value.
