🚨 What a run by Willson Contreras! 👏🔥

Willson Contreras' Home Run Derby journey comes to an end in the 2nd Round after falling just short against Kyle Schwarber.

💥 Willson: 8 HR
💥 Schwarber: 9 HR

One swing was the difference.

Despite being eliminated, Willson put on a show and represented Red Sox Nation proudly in front of a very hostile Philadelphia crowd. He embraced the boos, put on a performance, and reminded everyone why he's one of the game's biggest stars.

👏 We're proud of you, Willson. What a performance! ❤️⚾

Willson Contreras wants that hardware! 🏆

One thing is certain: Willson isn't showing up just to participate—he's coming to win. 👀🔥

⭐️⚾️ Three Red Sox All-Stars representing Boston!

Ceddanne Rafaela, Willson Contreras, and Aroldis Chapman soaking in the All-Star experience. What a special moment for these three. ❤️

The only thing missing was Ranger Suárez. 💔 He earned his All-Star selection, but unfortunately couldn't enjoy the festivities as he continues recovering from his injury. Wishing him a speedy recovery—we know he'll be back. 🙏

And while we're at it... Sonny Gray deserved to be there too. After the first half he put together, it's hard to argue he wasn't one of the American League's most deserving pitchers. ⭐️

Congratulations to all of Boston's All-Stars! 👏🔴⚪

⭐️ First of many. ⭐️

A special moment for one of baseball's brightest young stars, and it feels like this is only the beginning. Here's to many more All-Star appearances in the years ahead! 💫⚾️

🌟 All-Star status. 🌟

🚨👀 TRADE DEADLINE UPDATE 👀🚨

Just a few weeks ago, it looked like Sonny Gray, Aroldis Chapman, and several other veterans were all but guaranteed to be traded.

Now? That narrative has completely changed.

According to Chris Cotillo (RedSox insider), Gray, Chapman, and others "no longer look like goners" at the trade deadline. He reports that the clubhouse has a renewed sense of energy, and moving key veterans now would send a deflating message to a team that has battled all the way back into the playoff race.

Ken Rosenthal echoed that sentiment:

"I don't think [the Red Sox are] selling as of right now, no chance. They've got a chance and they've got a chief baseball officer who has been under scrutiny. He's not going to want to concede."

📈 After this incredible turnaround, selling at the deadline doesn't seem to be the direction Boston is headed.

🔥 If they keep this momentum going, expect the front office to look for ways to add—not subtract.
