Cardinals explore trade options for bullpen players as they eye future talent

yardbarker.com —

The St. Louis Cardinals are considering trades for several bullpen players as they focus on the future. They are prioritizing young talent for the 2025 season while not fully committing to a rebuild. Ryan Helsley, a top closer, is attracting significant interest from other teams. He has a projected salary of $6.9 million and is eligible for arbitration through 2025. JoJo Romero and John King are also potential trade candidates, with projected salaries of $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Romero has shown promise but has some concerns about his performance against right-handed hitters. King, a ground-ball specialist, had a strong season and is controllable for three more years. The Cardinals may explore trades for these players if compelling offers arise.
