St. Louis Cardinals on the Hunt for Former Phillies Reliever with Impressive 2.12 ERA
The St. Louis Cardinals have their sights set on a new addition to their bullpen, and they’re eyeing a former Philadelphia Phillies reliever with an impressive 2.12 ERA. The Cardinals have been actively seeking out potential trade options, and this pitcher has caught their attention.
According to sources, the Cardinals have been in talks with the Phillies about acquiring this talented reliever. The Cardinals are looking to strengthen their bullpen, and this pitcher could be the missing piece they need to solidify their pitching staff.

This reliever has proven to be a reliable and effective option for the Phillies, and the Cardinals are hoping to bring that same level of performance to their team.
The Cardinals are not the only team interested in this pitcher, as several other teams have also expressed interest. However, the Cardinals are determined to make a strong case for why this pitcher should join their team.
If the Cardinals are successful in acquiring this reliever, it could be a game-changer for their season. With the addition of a reliable and talented pitcher, the Cardinals could see a significant improvement in their bullpen and potentially make a push for the playoffs.

St. Louis Cardinals’ Trade Deadline Plans Revealed: Interest in Four Pitchers
With the MLB trade deadline just 48 hours away, the St. Louis Cardinals are making their intentions clear. While Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray may not be on the move, the team is fielding offers for four of their pitchers.
According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, the Cardinals are not only listening to offers for their top four relievers, but they are also patiently waiting for the right deal to come along. The reliever market is known to be expensive, and President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak is prepared to wait for the right offer.
The Cardinals have been rumored to be open to trading Ryan Helsley, Genesis Cabrera, and T.J. McFarland for some time now. However, the addition of JoJo Romero, who is under team control through 2026, as a potential trade piece is intriguing.
Helsley, Cabrera, and McFarland are all set to become free agents at the end of the season, which could decrease their trade value. On the other hand, Romero, who has a 2.12 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 40 appearances this season, could be a valuable asset for teams in need of a left-handed reliever.
With a lack of quality left-handed relievers available, Romero could be one of the top options on the market. And with an extra year of control, the 28-year-old could bring in a strong return for the Cardinals at the deadline.
This is the first mention of Romero potentially being traded, as he was previously acquired by the Cardinals in 2022 from the Philadelphia Phillies for infielder Edmundo Sosa. Three years later, he could be on the move once again.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Cardinals could capitalize on the lack of left-handed relievers available and receive a solid return for their 2022 acquisition from the Phillies.
