Episode 37 | Hasta La Vista Fernando Tatis Jr & Al Avila + The Field Of Dreams

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony bid farewell to one of the most hated men in Detroit baseball as well as a temporary farewell to someone quickly becoming one of the most hated men in all of baseball! The Detroit Tigers are now free from the eternal torment known as Al Avila's tenure and the duo reflect upon his tarnished legacy of bad trades and poor roster construction in addition to what could be next for the Tigers. The larger story, however, comes in the form of the 80 game suspension of Fernando Tatis Jr. for PED usage. The two discuss the meteoric impact this will have on both the Padres and the sport as a whole as well as what this does to Fernando's own legacy. Next and last up comes a rapid fire of stories ranging from a recap of the Field of Dreams game to a pair of milestones for Tom's sweetheart Cardinals to a near perfecto spoiled by a known Twitter jinx. This one is closed out with one of the most feel good stories you'll hear this summer so be sure to listen all the way to the end here on Episode 37 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
