Episode Details

The Phillies have two of the best pitchers in baseball in Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler. Jesus Luzardo has All-Star potential too. But the Phillies have growing concerns with Aaron Nola and their No. 5 starter. Should the Phillies prioritize a starting pitcher over a right-handed bat or late-inning reliever before the Aug. 3 trade deadline?

Ruben mentions an outside-the-box trade candidate for the Phillies: old friend Ranger Suarez!

Trea Turner and Justin Crawford are swinging the bat better. We discuss their progress. Jim also discusses an interesting story he wrote on Wheeler, who is keeping the door open for pitching beyond his contract in 2027.
