It was almost a foregone conclusion that the Cardinals would sign some middling but somewhat capable innings eater this offseason, with the rotation already looking pretty thin before Sonny Gray was traded away. To my knowledge, Dustin May was not mentioned by anyone in connection with the Cardinals. But when it happened, what made the most sense was that it is a 1 year contract. This works well for both sides: May is trying to prove himself for a longer-term contract, while coming off some seasons that do not reflect his full potential… the Cardinals need someone for the rotation because there is a lot of uncertainty and lower innings totals.
Dustin May to the StL Cardinals: maybe good?
