There’s One ‘X Factor’ That Could Change Everything For The Red Sox At The Trade Deadline
When people talk about what the Boston Red Sox will do at the trade deadline, the conversation usually goes straight to the roster — who they might buy, who they might sell, which prospects they’d be willing to move. All fair questions. But according to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the most important factor in how Boston…

By Miguel La Torre Jul 2, 2026 at 4:35 AM ET Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Brandon Marsh (16) hits a home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the third inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Brandon Marsh is having the best season of his career, and his teammates are not the least bit surprised. The Phillies outfielder has broken out in a big way in 2026, emerging as one of the National League’s most productive hitters and a strong candidate to start the All-Star Game in his home ballpark. Second baseman Bryson Stott says the effort behind it is exactly what the clubhouse sees every day. “He gives 110% every day and as much success as he has, he wants his teammates to have more success,” Stott said. For Stott, none of it comes as a shock. “I don’t think anybody in this clubhouse would say it’s a shock, kind of what he’s doing and how he’s doing it,” he said. He pointed to the work Marsh puts in and the way he carries himself, adding that watching him daily made the production feel inevitable.

New York Yankees New York Giants Cleveland Indians Oakland Athletics Stott also praised the kind of teammate Marsh has become. “If you see someone hit a homer, you just look in the dugout and you see Marsh giving the biggest hug or the biggest dap,” he said. “He’s just an incredible teammate and I think he likes his teammates succeeding more than he likes succeeding himself, which I think is really cool.” The numbers have matched the praise. Marsh entered late June slashing .322/.354/.529 with 14 home runs, after leading the majors in batting average for stretches of the season. He has gone from a platoon player to an everyday force in the heart of the Phillies’ order. That rise has Marsh in line for a first career All-Star selection, as a finalist to start the Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia. For a player who has quietly hit everywhere he has gone, the recognition is finally catching up to the production.

Not long ago Brandon Marsh was a platoon player. Someone you pencilled into the lineup situationally, worked around, managed carefully. A decent piece but not a cornerstone. Fast forward to the summer of 2026 and Marsh is leading the majors in batting average for stretches of the season, sitting pretty as an All-Star finalist in…
