Cardinals beat reporter Derrick Goold talks about St. Louis’ disappointing season, the Cards’ players that contenders covet via trade, and covering 3B Scott Rolen’s career as he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend (1:17:37).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
