The St. Louis Cardinals still could use some starting pitching. Only Johnny Cueto remains in the top-tier of available free agent starters, and his agent says he’s in no hurry to sign. Within the last day or so, however, reports have surfaced that the agent is pushing Cueto toward the St. Louis Cardinals.
Meanwhile, righthander Mike Leake‘s market has picked up in the last few days, and he has expressed an interest to play close to his Phoenix home. Given what the Arizona Diamondbacks have managed to do in a week’s time, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them snatch Leake off the market.
