## Resource

Red Sox fans, pay attention — despite a shaky start, two players are making serious All-Star game cases: first baseman Willson Contreras, crushing homers and batting lights-out, and closer Aroldis Chapman, who’s been unhittable with just one run allowed all season. Contreras is aiming for his first All-Star nod since 2022 and could shatter career highs, but he’s got stiff competition at first base and a wild fan vote to navigate. Chapman’s dominance is undeniable. Outfielders Ceddanne Rafaela and Willyer Abreu are also rising up the radar. The Red Sox need a strong finish to push more players into the Midsummer Classic — and we’ll see who makes the cut. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
