Cubs starters Marcus Stroman and Justin Steele have been among the top starters in all of baseball in 2023, and they have both been named to the National League All-Star team.
Congratulations to both pitchers — even if they don’t wind up pitching in the game, and Stroman has already announced that he won’t.
The Cubs have had many pitchers named All-Stars, the most recent before this year being Craig Kimbrel, who received the honor in 2021 for a lights-out first half — just a couple of weeks before he was traded in the big July selloff.
