Boston Red Sox players who should be 2019 MLB All-Stars
By Sean Penney
The Boston Red Sox have a loaded roster with several options who are worthy of consideration for a spot on the All-Star team.
Major League Baseball released the starting lineups for the 2019 All-Star Game and none of the Boston Red Sox players were included. That doesn’t mean that they won’t get the opportunity to make the team.
We are assured that at least one Red Sox player will make the trip to Cleveland for this year’s festivities because MLB still insists on every franchise being represented. This can lead to the selection of players from bad team who don’t deserve to be there, inevitably resulting in a worthy player being snubbed.
It happens all the time. Between fan voting, a disproportionate level of talent at different positions and the requirement to squeeze in players from each team, some players with All-Star caliber numbers are going to get left out.
It would be shocking if the reigning World Series champions didn’t have multiple All-Stars from their talented roster but it’s not set in stone. We know that none of their players will be a starter but the aim here is to identify those who deserve to be considered by the players when they select the reserves.
