Major League Baseball’s first update on the 2024 All-Star ballot made clear that Cubs position players have a hill to climb.
Fan votes, submitted in two phases, determine the starters for the All-Star Game, which is set to be held on July 16th at Globe Life Field in Arlington. And the initial returns, which MLB announced Monday, haven’t been promising for the Cubs. Considering the prolonged slump the offense has been stuck in, that isn’t particularly surprising.
Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger led the team with 352,565 votes at the first checkpoint, which put him at No.
