Episode Details

The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen enters the 2026 season with a flexible, matchup-driven approach, focusing on development and trade value rather than immediate success. JoJo Romero and Riley OBrien are expected to share closing duties, while Justin Bruihl and prospects like Zack Thompson handle early mop-up work. Middle innings are filled by Ryne Stanek, George Soriano, Gordon Graceffo, and Matt Pushard, with Stanek and Soriano potentially traded if they perform well. The bullpen is expected to see turnover through cheap arms and prospect tests, setting the stage for a developmental year in St. Louis.
