Before we delve into the early returns in the voting for next month’s All-Star Game, know this. The way the Chicago Cubs dominated the National League roster two years ago? That was a culmination of national excitement over the prospect of the franchise finally winning that elusive World Series championship.
Without said excitement – the Cubs stand literally no chance of such an event transpiring again. Know that. Accept it. And move forward.
If the Midsummer Classic were held tomorrow, no Cubs player would have earned a starting spot on the roster. That being said, several currently sit as runners-up in their respective positions – including Willson Contreras, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant.
