The 2024 MLB All-Star rosters' 8 biggest snubs: Where's Francisco Lindor and a bunch of Orioles?

Some big names were left off the rosters. Let's break them down.

The full list of 2024 MLB All-Star players on the American and National League rosters — including the starters — and we’ve got some stars having really, really good seasons who got left out.

Of course we know this happens every year in every sport: Inevitably, some talent gets left out for one reason (roster size) or another (in this case, every MLB team needs to be represented, which doesn’t help).

So let’s go over some of the guys left out, and maybe if there’s an injury or any other reason a player has to bow out, this list will provide some good replacements.

Here we go, in no particular order:

1. SS Francisco Lindor, New York Mets

Here, this should convince you:

1) All-Star
2) All-Star
3) All-Star
4) All-Star
5) Francisco Lindor
6) All-Star
7) All-Star
8) All-Star
9) All-Star
10) All-Star

Lindor hasnt been an all star somehow as a Met. What the hell did he do to these people pic.twitter.com/Gbny58VllH

2. 1B Christian Walker, Arizona Diamondbacks

C’mon!

1 of these guys was named an all star, 1 was not…

Christian Walker NEEDS to be an all star… WHAT A JOKE pic.twitter.com/Y80HIUPncA

3. OF Brandon Nimmo, New York Mets

Dude’s got 53 RBI this year!

Nimmo 2nd in fWAR for NL OF (13th overall)
Lindor 3rd in fWAR for NL SS (7th overall)
Alonso 7th in fWAR for NL 1B (45th overall)

Alonso is the only All-Star on the team. Make it make sense. pic.twitter.com/MVV12QgNm7

4. OF Anthony Santander, Baltimore Orioles

What’s with the Orioles snubs?

Santander got absolutely snubbed.

5. RP Craig Kimbrel, Baltimore Orioles

See above.

The Orioles got absolutely undeniably snubbed on the all-star rosters.

Craig Kimbrel has been the best closer in the AL with all due respect for Clay Holmes.

Marcus Semien over Jordan Westburg is indefensible.

Kyle Tucker over Anthony Santander is lunacy.

Shoulder chipped.

6. SP Cristopher Sanchez, Philadelphia Phillies

Hard to complain when the Phils have a bunch of their hurlers on the squad. But a snub is a snub!

Among qualified NL starters Cristopher Sánchez is second in FIP (2.58) and fourth in WAR (2.9), per @fangraphs.

If he was on any other team, he probably would have been an All-Star. Have to think he has a shot to still make it as a replacement.

7. 2B Brice Turang, Milwaukee Brewers

A .288 average and 29 swipes! Not on the team!

8. SP Ronel Blanco, Houston Astros

Kind of wild given the year he’s having.

Ronel Blanco should be an All Star. Thank you.#Relentless
