Gone are the days of Marlon Byrd or Travis Wood being the lone All-Star representative for the Cubs. You won’t find Bryan LaHair headed to the Midsummer Classic after a few hot months, not for these Cubs. With the team sporting the best record in baseball, the fans are stuffing the ballot boxes, and many deserving North Siders appear to be headed to San Diego.
Each member of the Cubs infield (Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell and Kris Bryant) is the current leader for their respective positions and Dexter Fowler is second among outfielders, meaning the Cubs would have five starters in the game if voting were to end now.
