Red Sox trade deadline, Roman Anthony Rookie of the Year run, Jarren Duran rumors are among top second half storylines.

Boston Red Sox matched our preseason expectations? If we asked that question a month ago, the answer likely would have been a resounding “no.” After an offseason of optimism, Boston looked like the same mediocre club that hasn’t been able to get out of its own way since it last reached the playoffs in 2021.

The Boston Red Sox are the hottest team in the MLB, and MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal thinks they can find themselves in the World Series if they make the right trade deadline moves.

Detroit Tigers are the fourth team in franchise history to feature six All-Stars. The other three teams had a mixed bag of playoff success.

According to recent media projections, the Detroit Tigers could target two major Boston Red Sox stars if available at the trade deadline.

After a brief hiatus for the Home Run Derby (congrats, Big Dumper) and the All-Star Game (congrats, National League), it's time to get back to business with power rankings heading into the second "half" of the 2025 Major League Baseball season.

If the Boston Red Sox decide to look to trade Alex Bregman, the surging Detroit Tigers could emerge as a good landing spot.
