## Resource

Merry Christmas Eve! Brian and Kyle begin with the pitchers received by the St. Louis Cardinals in their trade of Willson Contreras to Boston. The minor league addition of Jared Shuster is noted. Kyle explains the ramifications of pitchers using the Major League baseball starting at Triple-A. They look at the magnitude of staff additions made by Player Development and Performance and close with a surprising Albert Pujols comp (sort of).
