Phillies ace Zack Wheeler finished second for NL Cy Young for the second time in the four years.

This year, he finished behind Atlanta’s Chris Sale.

We discuss the vote, but also dig into an interesting story by MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, who suggests Wheeler is on a Hall of Fame track anyway. He needs a few more dominant years to put him into serious contention, but there is a strong argument to be made.

We also discuss Friday night’s non-tender deadline. Is Austin Hays non-tendered?

There’s some Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki talk and 40-man roster stuff, too!

Dave Dombrowski said after the NLDS that “sometimes you trade good players for good players.” Ever since, Phillies fans have wondered who Dombrowski might trade to help the Phils win the 2025 World Series?

Ruben, Jim and Todd spend the episode discussing the players who have the most trade value for other teams, including Alec Bohm, Ranger Suárez, Bryson Stott and top prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford.

Are Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and others in the conversation, too? Yes, they are.

Jayson Werth is not only a 2008 World Series champion, but he’s a Belmont Stakes champion.

His horse Dornoch won the Belmont this summer. It was such an unbelievable experience that Werth is spreading the word about horse racing, showing people how they can get involved in it, too.

You can follow Werth’s horse-racing teams on Instagram at @twoeightracing and @iconracinglfg

Werth talked to Ruben, Jim and Todd about the Belmont and his love for the sport. But he also talked plenty of baseball, including former teammates Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Chase Utley, what it’s like winning in Philadelphia, resurrecting his baseball career in Philadelphia and more!
