Summary
St. Louis is considering trades involving pitcher Dustin May and outfielder Lars Nootbaar as the deadline nears, with both viewed as among the club's most significant movable pieces.
May's status appears especially fluid after what may have been his final Cardinals outing in Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Busch Stadium.
Nootbaar also sits squarely in the market after Thursday's 4-2, 10-inning loss to the Cubs, a game that underscored the club's current slide and roster questions.
The Cardinals are weighing those moves to try to shift the market in their favor before the deadline, signaling a potentially active sell-side approach.
