JON JAY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Patience pays off for Jon Jay, David Freese
Although short-sighted analysis would have suggested otherwise, St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Jon Jay and third baseman David Freese weren’t going to struggle at the plate forever.
Cardinals fans quickly became anxious about both players in April as Jay struggled to a .213 batting average, and Freese was even worse at .163 as he returned from an oblique injury he suffered...

Overlooked Jon Jay embodies the "Cardinals' Way" on and off the field

Could Jon Jay be traded?
One year ago, the St. Louis Cardinals made a difficult decision to trade their former two-time minor league Player of the Year and then and now, a cost-controlled centerfielder in Colby Rasmus.
While the deal delivered much-needed pitching to the Cardinals as they continued on their way toward a World Championship, it also created a full-time job for Jon Jay. The now-27-year-old...
Cards Jay not satisfied with previous success
In two years in the big leagues, Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay has already won a World Series and played well enough that two outfielders were traded to give him more playing time.
But you won't see the 26-year-old Jay feeling like he has it made anytime soon.
