## Resource

The Brewers just pulled off a savvy move, acquiring All-Star pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. from the Astros — but not for the rotation. With key arms sidelined by injury, Milwaukee is bringing in the veteran bullpen ace to add depth while he recovers from shoulder inflammation. McCullers waived his no-trade clause, citing respect for the Brewers’ culture and championship drive, even consulting former teammates and current players before signing. Though the staff is already elite, this trade provides crucial insurance as they await returns from Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison, and Brandon Woodruff. A smart, timely move that could pay dividends as the season heats up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
