Heading into the All-Star break and out the other side of it, the Boston Red Sox, were one of, if not the best teams in all of baseball, as the team went on a historic win streak to not only get off the bottom of the AL East standings, but into a Wild Card spot in the American League Wild Card race.

As of late, the team have slowed down significantly as was to be expected, and given the injury situation to the likes of Curtis Mead and Adley Rutschman, their inconsistencies become even more understandable. However, the team have won five straight again and find themselves on the verge of back-to-back sweeps, but ahead of game three against the Miami Marlins, the team have announced a surprise decision on a big time star.

In 2026 however, the power has gone to another level, and with 26 home runs through his first 121 games, he has already surpassed his previous career high, with games still to play down the stretch to pursue the first 30-home run season of his career.
