BOOST: Cleveland Guardians COMPLETE Bullpen With Shawn Armstrong Signing | Why He's BETTER With Age

Cleveland Guardians bolster their bullpen, signing veteran reliever and former draft pick Shawn Armstrong in a move that promises stability and maybe some closing opportunities for the 2026 season. Can Armstrong’s evolving pitch mix and late-career resurgence bolster the Guardians’ playoff hopes while keeping Cade Smith's in a more versatile bullpen role?Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down Armstrong’s strengths, his role in the bullpen, and what this means for Cleveland’s roster construction and potential trade strategy. The show also discusses the tough decision of who loses a 40-man spot, and why the stagnant free agent bat market is impacting the Guardians’ next move. The guys also re-examine Cleveland’s mixed history drafting high school pitchers and track the latest roster news alongside trade rumors for hitters and relievers. Are more moves coming, or will Guardians fans need to stay patient this off-season?   Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
