Kenley Jansen is one of just five All-Stars aged 35 or older (and interestingly enough, two of the other four, JD Martinez and Craig Kimbrel, have played for the Sox). For him, the fact that he made it back here well after his prime makes this one particularly sweet. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
With Jansen as the only Red Sox representative in Seattle, fans have to find some surrogate to root for this week. That wasn’t hard to do in last night’s Home Run Derby, thanks to the presence of Mookie Betts.
