“He was wearing a cut-off shirt," Cora said. “And when he left, I told them, ‘He looks stronger.'" Cora has seen more arm strength from 32-year-old Story as the season has progressed. He also has seen him play better defensively on balls hit to his left.

Trevor Story take on the Red Sox: The Red Sox head into the All-Star break riding as high as the team has at any point in 2025.
