MLB Players Weekend Nicknames: Team-By-Team Breakdown of Best Names

MLB Players Weekend is back once again.

This year all the teams will be rocking either black or white jerseys, so some of the creativity normally associated with the weekend has been reduced. However, the nicknames on the back of the uniforms are just as good as ever.

So let's do a team-by-team breakdown of the best nickname on each squad.

Angels

Ty Buttrey: "(PEACH, TREE EMOJIS)"

Butt. Tree. It's pure gold.

Astros

Jake Marisnick: "BIG FUDGE"

If this doesn't make you chuckle a bit then we just aren't built the same.

A’s

Dustin Garneau: "DRAGO"

Blue Jays

Trent Thornton: "BUTTERS"

Braves

Dallas Keuchel: "BIG D"

Bold move Dallas Keuchel. I respect it.

Brewers

Lorenzo Cain: "THREE KID$"

It might be too accurate.
