## Resource

Chris Rongey and Kevin Wheeler are joined by Mike Claiborne to break down the Cardinals after their elimination from playoff contention and why there is still optimism about the organization’s direction. They discuss Leo Bernal and the catching situation, Joshua Baez and the prospect pipeline, Jordan Walker’s difficult September, lineup struggles and what the Cardinals need this offseason. Claiborne makes the case for adding front-end starting pitching, bullpen depth and multiple late-inning options.
