## Resource

Jordan Walker just won the Home Run Derby and is lighting up the St. Louis Cardinals’ future—already locked into a massive rookie deal with JJ Wetherholt, the Cards are signaling they’re building for the long haul. Walker’s MVP-caliber season, with career highs in homers, AVG, and OPS, has fans and analysts alike demanding a contract extension before his value skyrockets. With a $1M Derby payday already outpacing his entire salary, the Cardinals may be racing against time to secure their next superstar before he becomes unattainable.
