Cespedes and Bruce trail in vote for the All-Star Game

The Mets do not have a single player in contention to be voted in as their league's starting position player during this summer's MLB All-Star Game.

According to current results published by MLB.com, Yoenis Cespedes is the closest to starting among Mets players, but he trails five players and would need 120,000 votes...

Michael Conforto did not make the ballot because he started the season as a bench player in what -- at the time -- was viewed as a crowded outfield with Cespedes, Curtis Granderson, Jay Bruce and Juan Lagares competing for playing time.
