Key Points:
- Despite the typical "sell high" point for successful teams, experts argue that selling Red Sox assets right now is not advisable, as backing Boston to make the playoffs remains a solid bet.
- Tigers prospect Max Clark is showing strong performance at Triple-A, hitting .277/.368/.427 with 10 home runs and 21 steals, and has been particularly hot in July with a .338/.466/.620 slash line.
- Clark, the third overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, is viewed as a future starter and could be called up soon, especially with the injury to Tigers' Javier Báez.
- Báez suffered a high-grade ankle sprain and is expected to miss several weeks, opening the door for Clark or Wenceel Pérez to take over center field duties for Detroit.
- Clark has demonstrated impressive contact skills, plate discipline, and speed, making him an intriguing option for fantasy leagues and a potential core building block for the Tigers in the near future.
