## Resource

Jordan Walker is exploding onto the scene, leading the majors in RBIs and winning the Home Run Derby after a shaky 2025 — and the Cardinals are now facing a make-or-break decision: how to lock him down long-term before he hits free agency in 2029. With his power, defensive growth, and franchise-altering potential, extending Walker could cost more than their recent rookie deal — but with stars like Winn and Herrera also on the horizon, the Cardinals must navigate a high-stakes contract landscape before this young slugger’s momentum fades.
