Red Sox season of struggles still holds plenty of silver linings

COMMENTARY

Since the All-Star break, there are three players in the majors with an OPS of at least 1.110. All-world Mookie Betts (1.141) has surged into the National League MVP conversation. All-Star Corey Seager (1.130) is trying to drive the Rangers through their slump in the ultra-tight AL West.

The third? Triston Casas (1.113). Not Freddie Freeman, or Ronald Acuña Jr., or Shohei Ohtani, or Bryce Harper, or Jose Altuve. The Red Sox first baseman who was hitting .225/.330/.398 at the All-Star break, but has looked better with each passing month.

Yeah. Caught me by surprise too, honestly.
