Although the All-Star break is technically a little beyond the actual half-way point of the MLB season, it is often the point of the season in which front offices and fans alike take a step back to evaluate their team and decide what their strategy will be in the second half/post All-Star break and what their approach to the trade deadline should be. The Red Sox have largely underperformed up to this point and find themselves in last place in the AL East despite playing better in the last month or so. Baseball is a game of trends, streaks and up-and-down moments, so there will be players that will have stronger second halves of the season while others won’t be able to maintain their numbers once the grind of the “dog days” of August catches up with them.
