The All-Star Game rosters have officially been released, with the next week in Arlington, Texas, revealed Sunday after . Sure, we can all get excited about seeing the best the sport has to offer concentrated on one field in one game next week at Globe Life Field. Or we can react much more naturally: By scanning the rosters, identifying the most glaring omissions and emphatically claiming that the powers that be made an unforgivable error in excluding that player who clearly deserved an All-Star invite.

(While fans vote for the starters, the reserves and pitchers are determined by a combination of , if you’re wondering where to direct your ire.) There are plenty of reasons for these exclusions, of course. Some positions are more stacked than others, and every team needs at least one All-Star — a rule I strongly support, as every fan base should have the chance to cheer at least one player during All-Star introductions next week.



And remember: A handful of the omissions we’re getting worked up over right now will be added as injury replacements in the coming days, so we’re probably best off just being patient. But for now, allow me to scratch that undeniable itch. The reality is there aren’t enough roster spots to properly reward every player who has had a stellar first half, and that leaves certain fan bases feeling unfulfilled or insufficiently acknowledged.

Here’s my best attempt to validate those feelings, one position at a time. Presenting: The 2024 MLB All-Snu.
