Phillies' Broadcasters Chris Wheeler and Gary Matthews are out for 2014

Longtime Philadelphia Phillies' broadcaster Chris Wheeler will not be returning to the broadcaster booth in 2014 after nearly four decades as a play-by-play and color analyst on both TV and radio. Gary Matthews will also not be rejoining the broadcast team after seven years doing color for television and radio.

The decision comes after the Phillies recently signed a new broadcast contract worth $2.5 billion over 25 years. It is reported that the network made the decision to change broadcasters.

Wheeler started his broadcast career with the Phillies in 1971. Matthews played 16 seasons in MLB winning rookie of the year in 1973 with San Francisco and the 1983 NLCS MVP with Philadelphia.

The Phillies say that both of them will continue with the organization in other roles in the front office.
