It's the All-Star Week, which is a strange thing to call a three-day weekend. 

We revel in Vlad Jr's monster performance at the Midsummer Classic, becoming the youngest MVP in All-Star Game history. Pete Alonso didn't have a bad showing either, mashing his way to his second consecutive Home Run Derby Crown.

What's in store for the second half? Will the Red Sox keep up their torrid pace and win the AL East? Will the Giants finish off a dream season and capture the NL West crown? Will the Blue Jays solidify their pitching staff and make a run for the playoffs?

With restrictions easing in Canada, it looks like the Blue Jays may be coming back to Toronto for home games soon. What does that mean in terms of fan attendance, and player safety?

Also, there were some timeline rifts this week, so stay tuned for Gator Ben!
