About this episode
Matt Klentak discusses the trade that brought Cristopher Sánchez to the Phillies and shares insights on other significant player acquisitions.
Cristopher Sánchez's pursuit of Major League Baseball history continues on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. He will begin the game with a 44 2/3-innings scoreless streak. Former Phillies general manager and current Brewers executive Matt Klentak joined the show this week to tell the story behind the trade that brought Sánchez to Philadelphia in November 201. It wasn’t a major trade at the time. Far from it. But it will go down as one of the greatest trades in Phillies history. Klentak also tells stories about how the Phillies signed free-agent Zack Wheeler in Dec. 2019, acquired J.T. Realmuto in a trade in Feb. 2019 and more!
