MLB finalizes the 2023 All Star rosters

 All Star reserves & pitchers were named today for the All Star Game, airing July 11 on Fox.

As usual, there are snubs, and some teams will only have 1 player on the roster due to performance on the field, such as the underachievers like the Mets. Here we go:

American League:

Pitchers:

Gerrit Cole, Yankees. With Aaron Judge unable to play, Cole becomes the Bombers' lone representative.

Luis Castillo, Seattle.

Sonny Gray, Minnesota.

Nathan Eovaldi, Texas.

Kevin Gausman, Toronto.

Shane McClanahan, Tampa Bay.

Framber Valdez, Houston.

Michael Lorenzen, Detroit.

Kenley Jansen, Boston.

Emmanuel Clase, Cleveland.

Felix Bautista & Yennier Cano, Baltimore.

Shohei Ohtani, voted in as the DH, will also pitch.

Reserves:

Salvador Perez, Kansas City.

Adley Rutschman & Austin Hays, Baltimore.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Bo Bichette, & Whit Merrifield, Toronto.

Jose Ramirez, Cleveland.

Brent Rooker, Oakland.

Luis Robert, Jr., Chicago.

Yordan Alvarez, Houston.

National League:

Pitchers:

Zac Gallen, Arizona.

Spencer Strider & Bryce Elder, Atlanta.

Marcus Stroman & Justin Steele, Chicago.

Mitch Keller, Pittsburgh.

Josiah Gray, Washington.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles.

Alexis Diaz, Cincinnati.

Josh Hader, San Diego.

Dansby Swanson, Chicago.

Will Smith, Los Angeles.

Elias Diaz, Colorado.

Jorge Soler, Miami.

Lourdes Gurriel, Jr., Arizona.

Nick Castellanos, Philadelphia.

Juan Soto, San Diego.

Between now and game day, there will be the usual late replacements for injury and/or players choosing to opt out of the game to rest. Atlanta has the most players with 8, followed by Texas with 6. While Alonso is the Mets' lone rep at the moment, he might have some company if there are any late changes.
