💥“This Is an All-Star Roster?!” Fans Furious Over 2025 MLB All-Star Picks

By hu lee | July 9, 2025

Baseball's biggest summer party—the 2025 MLB All-Star Game—is just around the corner. But instead of celebration, the July 9 release of the final All-Star rosters has ignited a wildfire of controversy.

⚾ The All-Star Roster Breakdown

MLB revealed the fan-voted starters on July 2. Today, they announced the pitchers and reserves, and while some names are deservedly there:

  • Paul Skenes (Pirates) – One of the top rookie pitchers in MLB

  • Tarik Skubal (Tigers) – AL leader in wins and ERA

  • Kyle Tucker (Astros) – Leads AL in RBIs

  • Mookie Betts (Dodgers) – Red-hot return performance

…this roster has also sparked outrage across baseball circles.

❌ The Snubs That Set the Internet on Fire

🧨 Juan Soto (Yankees) – How Was He Left Off?

  • .308 AVG / .423 OBP / .540 SLG

  • 19 HR, 64 RBI, 3.9 WAR

Soto ranks in the top 10 in nearly every offensive category in the AL. Fans and experts are asking:

“If Soto’s not an All-Star, then what’s even the point?” – Jeff Passan, ESPN

🔥 Francisco Lindor (Mets) – Batting .370 Since June, Leading the Mets’ Resurgence

  • Elite defense

  • June OPS: 1.001

And yet, he’s out. Why? No explanation makes sense.

📣 Expert Take: “This Is a Popularity Contest, Not a Baseball Showcase”

Baseball analyst Ken Rosenthal didn’t hold back:

“This roster was built around marketability and fan appeal. It’s not about who’s playing the best baseball—it’s about who sells tickets. The guys actually heating up the field aren’t even on the list.”

Particularly on the pitching side, there were glaring omissions:

  • Logan Gilbert (Mariners) – 10 wins, 2.91 ERA, left off

  • Bryan Woo (Athletics) – Top-tier K/9, ignored due to team record

🧨 Fan Reactions: “We’ve Had Enough of This Show”

  • Reddit: “Looks like MLB picked them based on TikTok followers.”

  • X (Twitter): “Leaving out Soto is an insult to fans.”

  • Fan Survey: 58% said the All-Star selection process has “lost credibility.”

🧠 Bottom Line: The Real Stars Aren’t in This Game

The All-Star Game should be more than a flashy exhibition—it should honor the best current performers. But this year, it feels like the real stars are being shoved aside for marketable names.

Baseball isn’t about popularity. It’s about performance.
Will the 2025 MLB All-Star Game live up to that standard?
