Phillies Slam MLB’s Controversial All-Star Pick: Why Misiorowski Over Sánchez and Suárez Has Everyone Talking
“That’s just how MLB does it now,” Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto said, via The Athletic. “Nothing against the Misiorowski kid. But those two [Sánchez and Suárez] are deserving of being on the team in the first place. There’s no doubt.”
Nick Castellanos also presumably referred to MLB’s selection process in choosing Misiorowski over Sánchez and Suárez, saying “It’s turning into the Savannah Bananas.”
If Realmuto and Castellanos seemed to imply that MLB is letting popularity and social media buzz determine All-Star selections, rather than performance over the first half of the season, Turner came right out and said it explicitly.
