In the version of the 2025 season that we all thought or at least hoped that we’d be getting back before the season began, the recent release of All-Star ballots would be a time for excitement at the worthy set of Orioles who should be All-Stars. In the version that we are actually getting, the Orioles are an awful team and what we are going to get is the one mandatory pity All-Star.
Who will end up being that All-Star? Are there any players who should be but probably won’t be? As bad as the season has been, and as bad (or injured) as many of the Orioles who might have been imagined as All-Star contenders before the season have been, there are still a handful of O’s with cases to be made to make the American League team this year.
