LFCS is expanding its services in Kansas City
The Lutheran Family and Children’s Services of Missouri (LFCS), founded in 1868 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, plans to expand its services in Kansas City. When LFCS arrived in Kansas City in late 2022, it set up a temporary office at Peace Lutheran Church located at 8240 Blue Ridge Blvd. Now, one of Missouri’s oldest statewide social services agencies is moving to a new office space located at 1 East Armour Boulevard.

In their search for a fifth starter, they may be shopping at the top of the market for starting pitchers with one or two years of control left. With a Wildcard currently spot in hand, the Cardinals may act uncharacteristically aggressive, with a solid team needing just a few tweaks to compete in a very weak National League. I broke down a few of these trade targets with Josh Jacobs on the Dealin' the Cards Podcast this past week.
