Summary
The Cardinals just handed rookie phenom JJ Wetherholt an eight-year, $112.5M contract (potentially $132M with incentives) — a bold move that locks in a 23-year-old MVP-caliber spark plug who’s already smashed 13 homers and driven in 36 runs. With a .300+ July and a 3.9 WAR, Wetherholt’s breakout season mirrors a baseball trend: teams are betting big on young stars early. His minor league dominance last year foreshadowed this moment, and now, with the Cardinals three games from a wild-card spot, he’s poised to anchor their future — and fans are already wondering if he’s the next All-Star.
