This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony dive deep into the topic that is this year's Hall of Fame ballot! They cover some of the more prominent names on the ballot (such as Bonds, Clemens, and Schilling) as well as some players not getting as much attention (such as Abreu, Hunter, and Nathan). This discussion is concluded with the two constructing their own mock ballots for the coming election! Spoiler alert, they both fill in more than zero votes! But, not before they cover the retirement of Mariners legend: Kyle Seager. They recount his great 11 seasons in Seattle and how that affects the current third baseman market. Ring in the new year with Episode 14 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
