St. Louis Cardinals podcast: Jason Heyward's resurgence; Carlos Martinez's excellence; Mark Reynolds's putridness; MLB trade deadlines; and FBI investigation

Site manager Ben Humphrey and editor emeritus Aaron Finkel recorded a podcast on the morning of July 5 while Finkel watched catbirds eat blueberries in his backyard. The duo discussed St. Louis Cardinals baseball; specifically:

• Jason Heyward's resurgence
• Carlos Martinez's excellent first half
• How bad Mark Reynolds is as an everyday first baseman
• The MLB non-waiver trade deadline
• Considerations for GMs at the trade deadline in the two-wild-card era
• The latest news in the FBI investigation of Cardinals employees for computer intrusion
