Host Chris Gasper and NFL Reporter Ben Volin process the Patriots' trade deadline bombshell that sent backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers. They discuss why the Patriots made this move, other moves that might happen as a result, and what it means for Tom Brady's future. Then, Sports Columnist Dan Shaughnessy joins to talk about where this ranks among the pantheon of major Boston sports trades and chats about the epic World Series keeping us all up late at night.
