Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
Thomas Harrigan at MLB posted an update on Phase 2 of All-Star voting, which will determine the starters for this year’s Midsummer Classic at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Tuesday, July 11.
It should come as little shock that no current Athletics will be starting this year’s All-Star Game, though either Ryan Noda or Esteury Ruiz should get the nod to be the A’s lone representative. But the All-Star starting lineups could include some very familiar faces from the core of the last contending A’s roster, all of whom have been traded as part of the current “rebuild effort.
