Like Braves and Dodgers,Cardinals will be very active at trade deadline looking for pitching they have prospects to trade I assume they usually do. As far as off season Cardinals have deep pockets also don't let that market fool you lol

On May 26 in Baseball History...​
  • 1925 - In Detroit's 8-1 win over the White Sox, Ty Cobb becomes the first to collect 1,000 career extra-base hits. He will finish with 1,139.

  • 1930 - Joe Sewell strikes out twice facing lefthander Pat Caraway of the White Sox. It is the last time the Indians third baseman will fan this season, striking out only three times in 353 at-bats.

  • 1946 - At 2-for-42 and hitting .048 for the season, Mel Ott stops playing and only manages the Giants.

  • 1950 - The Athletics make some changes. Connie Mack's son, Earle, who had been assistant manager, assumes the duties of chief scout. Earle, who had hoped to succeed his father as manager, is replaced by Jimmy Dykes. Mickey Cochrane is named general manager.

  • 1959 - In a singular performance, Harvey Haddix of the Pirates pitches a perfect game against Milwaukee for 12 innings, only to lose in the 13th. Felix Mantilla opens the last inning by reaching base on an error. A sacrifice and an intentional walk to Hank Aaron brings up Joe Adcock, who hits one out of the park in right-center field for an apparent 3-0 victory. Aaron leaves the field, and Adcock passes him on the basepaths. Both are called out as Mantilla scores. Lew Burdette goes all the way for his eighth win, scattering 12 hits.

  • 1976 - In a scoreless game in Anaheim, Chicago's Ken Brett has a no-hitter with two out in the ninth when California's Jerry Remy tops a slow roller down the third base line. Third baseman Jorge Orta lets the ball roll and, in a controversial ruling, it is scored a hit, though many thought it ought to be ruled an error. Brett gives up a hit in the tenth to ex-Sox Bill Melton but wins the game 1-0 in 11 innings.

  • 1993 - Jose Canseco can't be accused of not using his head by anyone in Cleveland. The Texas right fielder drifts back to line up a long drive by Carlos Martinez and, when he turns his head to take a look at the wall, the ball skims off his glove, hits his head and bounces over the fence for a home run.

  • 1997 - Two inside-the-park home runs are hit in a span of five minutes on Memorial Day in Pittsburgh. First, Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa touches them all in the top of the sixth inning, then Tony Womack flies around the bases in 13 seconds in the bottom of the inning. The Cubs hold off the Bucs, 2-1, but it is the first time in 21 years that two N.L. players hit inside-the-parkers in the same game.

From the ESPN article posted earlier:

“A little more than a quarter into the season, Acuña stands on pace to surpass 40 home runs, 60 stolen bases, 100 RBIs and 150 runs, a combination of numbers that have never been reached.”

I’ve never understood why people get addicted to cigarettes. Every time I smell them I want to vomit.

He locked in a 10 year, $124M contract at the age of 19 years old. Two Club Options in 2027 and 2028 for $17M/yr. He will still be in his prime at the age of 31 in 2029 whenever he becomes a free agent. I would say he set himself up pretty well for another big time payday.

@chuckiepoo didn't one of the Astros starting pitchers go down for the year or a extended amount of time?

Lance McCullers during ST, #3, Jose Urquidy, #4, Luis Garcia, #2 (TJ surgery). Should get the first two back around ASB. The AAAA arms back filling those slots are performing better than expected but the bats…bats? ….
Bueller?
