Wheeler, Matthews Out As Phillies' Broadcasters 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jan 8, 2014 11:24 pm

Longtime Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Chris Wheeler will be replaced after nearly four decades and Gary Matthews isn't returning as an analyst.


The Phillies recently signed a new television contract with NBCUniversal and Comcast SportsNet that's reportedly worth $2.5 billion over 25 years.


The decision to replace Wheeler and Matthews came from the network, according to sources.


Wheeler and Matthews will continue to work with the organization in other roles.
