Daily Red Sox Links: Jackie Bradley Jr., Brock Holt, Mike Yastrzemski

Jackie Bradley Jr. has once again been positioned as a leader in the wake of another senseless act of violence against a Black person by the police. It’s a role he has accepted willingly. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic)

But Bradley Jr. shouldn’t have to be the only one. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

Supporting teammates outside of the diamond goes a long way. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)

It’s not that the Red Sox don’t have fond memories of newly available Brock Holt, but he just doesn’t make sense for the roster anymore. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

Kevin Pillar is getting MVP vibes from Mike Yastrzemski. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

Yastrzemski is taking such a goal seriously. (Chris Cotillo; MassLive)

Oh yeah. There’s a trade deadline coming up. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic)
