FT Live - Kershaw returns, Skenes debuts, Merloni on Red Sox playoff dreams & trade flip-flopping + Orioles cannot be swept!

Are the Red Sox still kicking? Former Big Leaguer and NESN analyst Lou Merloni tells us why they have a shot but also questions the Yanks/Sox trade deadline crickets. Clayton Kershaw's back: how scary are the Dodgers? It's time to start spreading the word about the Orioles ridiculous streak during the Adley Rutschman era. Todd Frazier and Erik Kratz also talk Scott Braun through how to handle Mt. Baltimore. #1 overall pick Paul Skenes made his pro debut and Kratz wants the Pirates to unleash the bulldog!
