> Olney talked all things trade deadline and all things Hall of Fame. Specifically, he commented on the wooing of Mark Teixeira by many teams including Atlanta, and his thoughts on Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn being inducted this weekend as well as sharing stories from his time covering both of them as a beat writer. Price touched on the problems with the Tigers' bullpen, the return timeline for Joel Zumaya and how things overall are going well for the Tigers. Hagen talked about the loss of Chase Utley for a month due to a broken hand, commented on Cal and Tony's induction this weekend, and how he feels Bonds didn't need any enhancements to be a great player and is saddened he took that route. Davidoff discussed his recent time being on Bonds' HR watch, the state of the Mets and how Atlanta possibly acquiring Teixeira would affect the NL East race, and finally what possible trade deadline moves the Yankees could make to make a run for the AL wild card. Hummel discussed his Hall of Fame induction this weekend and spoke about the different ceremonies and honors bestowed upon he, Denny Matthews, Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn.
