In a brand new, fuller-length episode, co-hosts Derrick Goold and Benjamin Hochman, two sportswriters at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, recap a news-jammed week for the Cardinals and find the tie that binds the hacking scandal with the team's trade deadline plans. A former Cardinals executive is sentenced to 46 months for illegally accessing Houston's database, and with that baseball is dragged by the lapels into the Information Age and corporate espionage. With MLB now investigating the scandal and penalties imminent, the Cardinals face tiers of decisions on the annual trade deadline: Is this a team one or two fixes away from being an October challenger and is the talent cost worth it when MLB's punishment could limit the Cardinals' future access to prospects. Puns are kept to a minimum. And there is an unexpected compliment. Or two.
