This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony meet earlier than normal to break down the most significant trades bartered prior to the deadline! After a few minor stories including one historic night for Framber Valdez and some less than ideal fates for Domingo German and Liam Hendriks, the two dive right in and go trade by trade! From the Rangers bolstering their pitching staff for a run at October, to the Mets reloading their farm system with some elite prospects, to whatever the hell the Yankees did, you bet if it made the headlines, it was covered here on Episode 70 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
