I’m not the most connected baseball writer out there, but I am able to break a little bit of news: the San Francisco Giants will have an All-Star in 2025. You heard it here first! Make sure to cite me as the source in five months.
The Giants will have an All-Star because of the funny rule — adored my some, loathed by others (guilty) — that each team must have a representative at the Midsummer Classic. That means that, if the Giants are mediocre through and through, they’ll at least get a pity invite.
Last year they didn’t get a pity invite, because they had two All-Stars (Logan Webb and Heliot Ramos), meaning both were there strictly on merit.
