The All-Star Rosters Are Here!

The anticipation has finally climaxed, as the rosters for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game have been unveiled! While the starters were announced on July 2nd, the full lineup, including reserves and pitchers, was officially revealed just last Sunday. Excitingly, every MLB team will be represented at Truist Park in Atlanta, with 19 players set to make their All-Star debuts.

Dodgers Dominate the Lineup

Leading the pack is none other than the Los Angeles Dodgers, boasting five players on the roster. Close behind are the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, each securing four spots. This diverse representation paints a vivid picture of talent across the league.

Top Snubs: The Players Left Out

While many bask in the glory of their All-Star selections, a handful of top-tier players are understandably disheartened by their exclusion. Here’s a closer look at some of the notable snubs:

Andrew Abbott, SP - Cincinnati Reds

In just his third year, Andrew Abbott has transformed into one of the elite left-handed pitchers in the National League, compiling a stellar 7-1 record with a jaw-dropping 2.15 ERA over 83.1 innings. His phenomenal play has been instrumental in keeping the Reds competitive in the tightly contested NL Central.

Juan Soto, OF - New York Mets

After signing the most lucrative contract in MLB history, Juan Soto is gradually showcasing his talent following a slow start. Currently, he boasts a .267 batting average with 21 home runs, 51 RBIs, and an astounding 72 walks—making his absence from the All-Star Game even more puzzling.

Cristopher Sánchez, SP - Philadelphia Phillies

As the Phillies surge into contender status with a 53-37 record, Cristopher Sánchez has been a quiet force. With a 7-2 record and a 2.68 ERA over 100.2 innings, his exclusion from the All-Star roster raises eyebrows.

Joe Ryan, SP - Minnesota Twins

Joe Ryan has undoubtedly been overshadowed by the depth of American League pitchers. However, his own impressive performance—8-4 record and a 2.74 ERA—merits a spotlight of recognition.

Michael Busch, 1B - Chicago Cubs

The Cubs have made headlines this season, but not everyone can bask in All-Star glory. Michael Busch’s standout stats of .293 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs are certainly deserving of consideration but sadly left out.

Seiya Suzuki, OF - Chicago Cubs

Yet another casualty from the Cubs' packed roster, Seiya Suzuki's contributions—hitting .261 with 24 home runs and an eye-popping 75 RBIs—make a compelling case for his inclusion.

Carlos Narvaez, C - Boston Red Sox

New to the Red Sox this offseason, Carlos Narvaez has quietly emerged as one of the best catchers in the AL, achieving a commendable .274 average with seven home runs. His defensive excellence makes his absence even more frustrating.

Junior Caminero, 3B - Tampa Bay Rays

In his third season, Junior Caminero has asserted himself firmly, hitting .258 with 21 home runs. His ability to propel the Rays forward should have warranted All-Star consideration.

Jackson Holliday, 2B - Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles’ 2022 No. 1 draft pick has impressed in his rookie season, posting a .251 average. His defensive skills at second base have shone despite the Orioles' struggles, making the snub even more confounding.

George Springer, OF - Toronto Blue Jays

After a challenging previous season, George Springer has made an encouraging comeback, hitting .285 with 16 home runs. As he aims to help the Blue Jays contend in a fierce division, his All-Star absence is a surprising oversight.

The drama and excitement surrounding the 2025 All-Star Game underscore the intense competition in Major League Baseball. With such talented players overlooked, fans can only imagine what might have been!
