Reports emerging Tuesday suggest the St. Louis Cardinals are considering a reunion with left-handed reliever JoJo Romero, a move that would bring the pitcher back to the organization where he appeared in 2026.
Romero, who wore number 59 for St. Louis, pitched against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on April 5, 2026, during the early weeks of that season. The 28-year-old southpaw has spent parts of multiple seasons in the Cardinals' bullpen, posting a career ERA in the low-3.00s with St. Louis while averaging nearly a strikeout per inning.
The potential reunion comes as the Cardinals look to reinforce their relief corps ahead of the 2027 campaign. Romero's familiarity with the organization's pitching infrastructure and his previous success in Busch Stadium make him a logical target for a club seeking reliable late-inning options.
Neither the Cardinals nor Romero's representatives have officially commented on the discussions. The pitcher most recently appeared in the majors during the 2026 season.
