The New York Yankees are looking to strengthen their bullpen by targeting left-handed reliever JoJo Romero of the St. Louis Cardinals, following the departures of Mark Leiter Jr. and Devin Williams, and the potential loss of Luke Weaver in free agency. Romero, coming off a career-best season, boasts a 1.90 K/BB ratio but has struggled with control, evident in his 11.4% walk rate. Despite these concerns, he effectively avoids hard contact and has shown improvement each season. With the Cardinals likely to overhaul their roster, Romero may be available for approximately $4.4 million in his final arbitration year.
