MLB Season Wrap With ESPN’s Paul ‘Hembo’ Hembekides

The NFL is all set for its first-ever Dublin game this weekend. It’s one of seven international contests this season, the most of any season so far. Jason Bell of Sky Sports, which is broadcasting the game internationally, joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to set the scene in Ireland and give his thoughts on what an international Super Bowl could look like.

Plus, Paul “Hembo” Hembekides of ESPN walks us through scenarios for the MLB playoff picture, and he says that the last month of baseball has been Rob Manfred’s dream come true. Hembo also gives his MVP pick in a close race between Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh in the American League.

Also, we hear from NWSL player Brianna Pinto on the new all-Black combine, President Donald Trump threatens the World Cup, and Rob Pelinka addresses LeBron James’s future.
