00:00The Cardinals signed Dustin May in the offseason. They certainly got a lot out of him. I cannot
00:04imagine that he makes this start Monday against the New York Yankees. I would imagine that he is
00:09dealt because he's on a one-year deal too. It doesn't make any sense for the Cardinals to keep
00:14him. And the Cardinals talk about cratering their playoff odds. They have fallen less than 5%
00:19on fan graphs right now. So they appear on the outside looking in, but great three-quarters of
00:24a season for them. I can't blame them at all for their year. McGreevy, Palante, I would think both
00:29of these guys could be on the move too. Heim Blum, I think, is going to take a look at
00:32this and
00:32try and dismantle as much as he can heading into next year. And for the Yankees, there's going to
00:37be no advantages here to betting these games. They're going to be minus 160, minus 170, maybe
00:41even minus 200 by the time Monday comes if the Cardinals end up trading May. But he would be
00:47one of those pitchers, right, Tom, to get moved? No reason to hang on to him. No, I would say
00:51that
00:51it's a great option for a team maybe like the Dimebacks or the Patriots. They need pitching help.
00:58You know, something just to give you a third starter in a rotation. But this series looks
01:02like it's going to be just Yankees top to bottom, especially if the Cardinals do make moves. And
01:06to your point, it really has been a good season for the Cardinals. They've exceeded our expectations.
01:11I know that. And, you know, getting weather holds up and then getting them extended is great to see.
01:16Seeing Jordan Walker finally find his footing in the MLB is good. No, I think Alec Burleson is solid.
01:21Like, they have some pieces that they want to build around and can build around. But it really just
01:26comes down to that starting pitching staff, because I do not think it's good. You do not
01:30think it's good. They have pitchers that are vastly overperforming. So getting pitching prospects
01:34back and then fixing that going into next season, I think would put them in contention for,
01:38truly in contention for the NL wildcard next year.
