MLB All-Star Game Shocker: Why Top Stars George Springer, Juan Soto, and Randy Arozarena Were Shockingly Overlooked

Of course, it’s impossible to make everyone happy. There are only so many roster spots, after all, especially when factoring in that every major-league team is guaranteed at least one All-Star representative. And some positions are more stacked than others, making it more difficult for standouts at shortstop or on the mound to qualify compared to, say, second base.
It’s also important to remember that some of this frustration will end up being temporary. In the week leading up to the game, injuries and rotation schedules will necessitate the addition of more All-Stars courtesy of the league office. Last year, 10 replacements were added after the initial roster release, three of whom — Willi Castro, Anthony Santander and Cristopher Sanchez — I had identified as some of the most egregious omissions. So it’s likely that some of the players mentioned below will ultimately receive an invite to Atlanta.
