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

What’s with the Orioles snubs?
Santander got absolutely snubbed.

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.

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.

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

Kind of wild given the year he’s having.
Ronel Blanco should be an All Star. Thank you.#Relentless
