Despite acquiring
Justin Masterson,
FOXSports.com is reporting that t
he Cardinals may still pursue Jon Lester. The word is that any such deal for Lester would need to include an "elite" prospect
and current RedBird starter
Shelby Miller. The 23-year old Miller has been mediocre at best this season (7-8, 4.20 ERA in 20 starts)—after a stellar 2013 (15-9, 3.06 ERA in 31 starts). He was
not on the Cardinals World Series roster when they faced the Red Sox last year.
