Sheil opens the pod with a couple of trades the Eagles made over the weekend. First they acquired QB Sam Howell from Minnesota, and then they welcomed back OT Fred Johnson! What do these moves mean as roster cutdowns are quickly approaching (00:56)? Phillies ace Zack Wheeler will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with venous thoracic outlet syndrome. Sheil and Anthony Dabbundo discuss what this means for the Phils and how this will affect the rotation. How do the Phillies stack up against the rest of the NL as they head to New York to face the division-rival Mets (7:10)?
