Cardinals Release Two Pitching Prospects | MLB News

Cardinals let go of two pitching prospects, Jawilme Ramírez and Victor Santos, with Santos’ exit carrying extra weight—he was traded for Tyler ONeill, who thrived in Boston. Santos, a 26-year-old righty, never cracked the majors but flashed promise in Triple-A with a 2.74 ERA last season. Ramírez, 24, showed early promise with a 3.02 ERA in 2025 but struggled recently. Both are now free agents, and while the moves don’t impact the big club now, they signal a tightening of the Cardinals’ minor league depth—a routine but telling move in baseball’s ever-changing roster landscape.
