I cannot argue with the AL, except for possibly our own Giancarlo Stanton as a starter.  How is Yordan Alvarez not a starter?  His numbers are better than Judge's.

Alvarez was listed as a DH and his numbers are clearly better than Ohtani's. It's not even close.

Alvarez was leading until the final day.  It's like a whole bunch of "votes" came in from the MLB marketing department.  

According to Heyman, Trevino is making the All Star team. Nice to a great defensive catcher getting recognized for his play, although, playing for the Yankees didn't hurt. What a trade that's turned out to be.

Congrats to all Yankee All Stars!
