Dodgers Pursue JoJo Romero, Cardinals Consider Trade

0:00It's April 22nd. You're listening to MLB News today, AI-powered MLB coverage. St. Louis Cardinals are off to a hot start above 500 through the first month, but they're locked into a full rebuild and likely to sell. Players soon. Jojo Romero, their sharp lefty reliever, tops the trade rumors with the Los Angeles Dodgers emerging as the ideal landing spot. The Dodgers just lost closer Edwin Diaz to Elbow's surgery, sidelineing him for months and maybe more. His return timeline is murky, and they need bullpins stability now. Romero fits perfectly, posting a 2.25 ERA over 12 innings with only 9 hits and 3 runs given up. This move makes sense for both sides. Dodgers bolster their pin with a reliable lefty during the Diaz Void, while Cardinals address their thin outfield. Pipeline down the road. Rebuilt squads like St. Louis prioritize future pieces over short-term pushes. Talk of a deal centers on Dodgers prospects, number 8 guy.
