For Cubs’ Willson Contreras, it’s straight from All-Star ‘dream come true’ to trade watch

LOS ANGELES — By now, everybody knows there’s a lot of love between Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and his baby brother, Braves catcher William Contreras. But there’s also a significant age gap. So when Willson, 30, started behind the plate and hit sixth in the order for the National League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game, with William, 24, at designated hitter and batting seventh, it was the first time they’d ever played in a real game as teammates.

And their parents, big brother Willmer — double “Ls,” of course — and Willmer’s wife and daughter were all at Dodger Stadium to enjoy it, too.
