Major League Baseball’s biggest names will converge in Seattle for the 93rd edition of the All-Star Game and the third to take place in the Pacific Northwest. The Yankees are sending two All-Stars to the Emerald City for the festivities, and while 2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge won’t be available to play, ace Gerrit Cole should pitch and has a case to start the Midsummer Classic as well.
If chosen, Cole would be the first Yankees pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Roger Clemens in 2001, which just so happens to be the last time the event came to Seattle.
