JoJo Romero has emerged as a key trade candidate for the Cardinals this offseason. The 28-year-old setup man recorded a 7-3 record with a 3.36 ERA and a 51-to-16 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 59 innings pitched. With team control through 2026 and a projected market value of around $26 million over five years, trading Romero could help the Cardinals acquire valuable prospects as they look to rebuild their farm system. His departure would be a significant loss for the bullpen, where he played a crucial role alongside Ryan Fernandez and Andrew Kittredge in supporting closer Ryan Helsley.
