The first half of the 2016 season wrapped up Sunday, and MLB's elite are now converging on San Diego, California, for Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.

The San Diego Padres are hosting the event for the first time since 1992, when 2016 Hall of Fame inductee Ken Griffey Jr. was the MVP.

The first half of Major League Baseball's 2016 season wrapped up Sunday, and the game's top performers are now on their way to San Diego, California, for the 2016 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday.

The Midsummer Classic's festivities kick off Monday, highlighted by the Home Run Derby, which will air at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.

We're talking, of course, about the Boston Red Sox, a club already loaded with young position-player talent.

Boston fans got a preview of another blockbuster coming attraction on Sunday in San Diego, and they had to be elated with what they saw.

Oakland Athletics right fielder Josh Reddick is playing under a one-year, $6.6 million contract, per Spotrac.
