Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Tim Kurkjian and Buster Olney discuss the Red Sox sweep of the Yankees and if Boston can dream about the postseason, the Mets firing manager Carlos Mendoza and what it means for the GM David Stearns, why the Angels firing GM Perry Minasian probably won't change much in Anaheim, the Tigers falling out of playoff contention and looking likelier than ever to trade Tarik Skubal, Junior Caminero raking the Rays to the AL's best record, why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is baseball's biggest mystery, and the Rangers losing Wyatt Langford.
