In this episode, we hand out first-half grades, spotlight breakout performances, and examine the biggest disappointments. We also look at the stat that best captures where this team stands and whether Boston should buy, sell or hold at the trade deadline with a Wild Card spot within reach.

And what will it take to get the bats going again? Plus, we break down ESPN's top trade deadline candidates. Should the Red Sox explore deals involving Jarren Duran, or is he too important to move?

Send us a textAaron Judge and Juan Soto are 1-2 in xwOBA. Expected Weighted On-Base Average (xwOBA) tell the story of a player's season based on quality of and amount of contact, not outcomes. It takes out being unlucky. Why can't we get into the College World Series? Rafael Devers is a Giant in the first pre-trading deadline deal of the 2025 #MLB season. Devers said he'd play anywhere once he went to San Francisco. Maybe the Red Sox just didn't ask nicely? Not great for Alex Cora and Craig Breslow. Shohei Ohtani is back on the hill but will he take his turn every 6th day? Cal Raleigh has 30 home runs and is poised to have the greatest hitting season in catcher history.  Yes there is a long way to go. James Wood is a superstar in the making. We wish Ron Washington well as he recovers from a medical issue. www.almostcooperstown.com
