The Phillies traded for second baseman Luis Arraez, a three-time batting champ, leading the National League with a .324 average this season. Sheil is joined by Anthony Dabbundo to discuss the move and the ripple effect it will have on the infield and lineup. The Phillies also acquired a pair of relievers, left-hander Brooks Raley from the Mets and right-hander Caleb Kilian from the Giants. Are these moves enough to compete throughout the rest of the season and possibly beyond?
