Two St. Louis Cardinals pitchers may be on the wish lists of Major League Baseball teams still in contention for the playoffs.
Right-handers Dustin May, and Ryne Stanek are pitching on expiring contracts. Both can become free agents at the end of the World Series.
As noted by baseballreference.com, Dustin May, 28, is in the starting rotation. Stanek, 35, pitches in relief.
May would be a major prize for a contending team.
