Once again, favoritism rears its ugly head, and rather than recognizing a deserving player like Omar Narvaez or Will Smith, MLB decides to bow down at the alter of the St. Louis Cardinals. Not only does Yadier Molina have no business replacing the injured Buster Posey in the All-Star Game, but the Cincinnati Reds have two catchers who are more deserving.
Both Tucker Barnhart and Tyler Stephenson are more deserving than Yadier Molina of a spot on the 2021 NL All-Star roster.
