Eno and DVR discuss Zack Wheeler's Thoracic Outlet Syndrome diagnosis and the lengthy timetable for his recovery, Aaron Nola's return to the Phillies' rotation, an eight-year extension for Samuel Basallo and whether that will prompt the Orioles to trade Adley Rutschman this winter. Plus, Eno shares a few interesting takeaways from this year's Saberseminar in Chicago, and they examine a new offering from Shane Bieber, who pitched well in his first start back from the IL for the Blue Jays.
