Cleveland Guardians José Ramírez and Steven Kwan are among the American League leaders for the 2025 Midsummer Classic in Atlanta, according to the first All-Star ballot update.

The Cleveland Guardians are predicted to cut Nolan Jones in favor of trading for Boston Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran.

As things stand, this feels like a team that will have a quiet deadline, or participate in some light shuffling.

The Cleveland Guardians have activated catcher Austin Hedges from the 7-day injured list. He was activated prior to Friday night’s game against the Seattle Mariners.

The Boston Red Sox are not poised to be sellers just yet, but they very well could be when the deadline rolls around. Jarren Duran could be a name to watch if that's the case.

The M’s on Friday got a strong start from Luis Castillo, three scoreless innings from the bullpen and the offense pounded out 16 hits on its way to seven runs. Then on Sunday it was seven shutout innings from Emerson Hancock, two easy innings from the bullpen and six runs from the offense.

SEATTLE — J.P. Crawford hit a grand slam, Emerson Hancock tossed seven scoreless innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-0 on Sunday to complete a sweep.

The rivalry has turned into somewhat of a snoozer the past two seasons as the Yankees have made more significant — and more effective — moves.

In an ideal world, the Red Sox won't send Duran to an American League team, given he'd come with three additional years of club control after this one, but a team like the Cleveland Guardians is unlikely to keep Duran along long-term, needs outfield help, and has intriguing assets to offer.
