The 2024 MLB season has seen several standout performances across teams. The Boston Red Sox's Jarren Duran is a leading force, earning All-Star MVP and potentially landing on the All-MLB team despite a suspension for a homophobic slur (source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox-breakout-star-predicted-to-land-first-team-all-mlb-honors-jackson3). The Philadelphia Phillies have excelled with contributions from rookie Orion Kerkering and breakout star Alec Bohm, despite mid-season struggles and outfield issues (sources: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/news/phillies-rookie-having-sneaky-good-season-draws-insiders-attention/69a3bf9bc368a3a6de4a0f7a, https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/news/phillies-all-star-named-biggest-breakout-star-2024-mlb-season/7e9deeafbbccf54dabb091db).
