Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is making a strong case. When all is said and done, Vladdy might wind up the best player in Toronto Blue Jays history. He's going to be paid half a million dollars over the next decade-plus to stick around and go for such an honor.

For the Yankees, as of July 12, two days before the All-Star break, the New York offense leads the MLB in homers (149), walks (372), OBP (.339), SLG (.458), and OPS (.797), while the pitching staff has permitted the fewest hits (694), lowest OBA (.224), and rank top 10 in WHIP (1.21), and strikeouts (846).
