This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony break down the aftermath of the trade deadline! Before they analyze the deadline, they first pay tribute and honor the legacy of Vin Scully. Next, the duo dishes out their thoughts on the trades they didn't mention in last week's episode and rate them individually for each team involved. After the actual trades, Tom and Tony grade the overall performances by teams at the deadline (for better or for worse). Finally, the Angels are the butt of jokes once again for two events unrelated to the deadline that get taken for a Deep Drive to Left! A lot of names and numbers are thrown around on Episode 36 of The Diamond Duo Podcast, so stay tuned to take it all in!
