The All-Star Game is coming! MLB skipped this process last year during the pandemic, despite continuing with every other type of award and honor they usually bestow in a full season, but the popularity contest is back for 2021. The game will be played July 13.
That’s less than three weeks away, and the fan voting process is already well underway to decide the starting lineups. Obviously no Oakland A’s will be factors in the national fan voting, but several players deserves serious consideration for reserve roles. The following eight players have numbers that can’t be ignored:
- C Sean Murphy
- 1B Matt Olson
- 2B Tony Kemp
- OF Mark Canha
- OF Ramon Laureano
- SP Chris Bassitt
- SP Sean Manaea
- RP Lou Trivino
How many of the might make the All-Star squad?
