Topps Now: July 16, 2024 - The All Star Game

Jarren Duran became the fifth Red Sox player to win the All Star Game MVP last year.  He joins Carl Yastrzemski (1970), Roger Clemens (1986), Pedro Martinez (1999) and J.D. Drew (2008).  Duran hit a two-run home run off of Hunter Greene of the Reds with the Orioles' Anthony Santander on base.  Those were the deciding runs of the game, making him a pretty easy selection.  Duran was in the middle of his best season to date in 2024 and would continue his hot start in the second half.
