Today, we sit exactly six months out from the 2023 All-Star Game in Seattle so instead of continuing to wait -- and wait -- on the final free agent news, it is a perfect time to look ahead to the upcoming season by picking our way-too-early All-Stars.
We'll pick the 32-man rosters with 20 position players and 12 pitchers (eight starters, four relievers) -- and, yes, each team needs a representative. Which might be an issue.
One interesting thing happened in the majors in 2022 that we should keep in mind, with baseball a sport where we so often hear about the next generation of young stars: The best position players got older.
