The Boston Red Sox made a rebuilding-type move when they traded star slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on June 15, but they’ve played like a contender ever since. They’re 22-15 after the deal, and now own the AL’s second Wild Card spot after previously being out of playoff positioning.

Like Chapman, Jarren Duran has also found himself stuck in a gyre of trade rumors. He doesn’t seem too stressed about it, though, as he fights through the pressure to follow-up on last year’s star performance. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
