The MLB announced the results for the All-Star finalists Yesterday. Top vote getters advanced to the next phase of the weirdly complicated All-Star fan voting. The top 2 catchers and infielders advanced and the top 6 outfielders from each league advanced. James Wood was not one of those top six outfielders.

Here are your All-Star Ballot FINALISTS!

Phase 2 voting opens Monday, 6/30 at noon ET and closes on Wednesday, 7/2. Vote totals reset.

This means that Wood will not be an All-Star starter, which is ridiculous.
