Episode 30: Pujols Returns

The Great Albert Pujols has returned to the Cardinals to join Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright for one last score.

It’s a Spring Training off-day, and in consideration of our recording schedule, the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to terms with Franchise Legend Albert Pujols on a one-year, $2.5 million contract to return to the team as a bench bat and mentor.

Starting Pitching: The Cardinals plan was always to discount shop on starters, but even with the injury to Flaherty, the team has not pursued any high-end additions. We discuss whether that is a bug or a feature of this Cardinals team.
