Why the hell wasn’t Ceddanne Rafaela an All-Star?

Seven (7) outfielders were named to the American League squad for the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Those seven outfielders were Aaron Judge, Javier Baez, Riley Greene, Byron Buxton, Steven Kwan, Julio Rodriguez, and Randy Arozarena (who was named to the game as a replacement after Rodriguez opted out).

Now, what do five of these seven men have in common? I’ll tell you! They’re having a worse season than Boston Red Sox center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela! As we sit here at the All-Star break, Ceddanne is batting .271 with a .314 on-base percentage (walking still isn’t really his thing, don’t worry about it).
