Overview
- Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Yankees are among multiple clubs contacting St. Louis about JoJo Romero.
- Seattle had been linked to Romero, though its status is uncertain after acquiring left-hander Jose A. Ferrer from Washington.
- Romero logged a 2.07 ERA over 61 innings in 2025, thriving on ground balls and soft contact with just two homers allowed last season.
- St. Louis, in a retooling phase, is weighing prospect offers and could keep Romero if it cannot secure veteran bullpen help or lacks a compelling return.
- New York’s bullpen needs are pronounced after departures such as Devin Williams and Mark Leiter Jr., and the club separately brought back utilityman Amed Rosario.
