The MLB All Star Game centers around the controversy of player selections, especially regarding ‘snubs’, which refers to deserving players left off the roster. A rule exists requiring each team to have at least one representative, even if their performance is subpar. For instance, the Chicago White Sox are represented by Shane Smith, who has a 3-7 record and a 4.20 ERA. In contrast, the Texas Rangers boast Jacob deGrom, who is 9-2 with a much lower 2.29 ERA, yet discussions swirl around his teammate Nathan Eovaldi, who might be having an even better season and fits the snub category.
The MLB All Star Game features a rule mandating every MLB team has at least one representative on the rosters, regardless of their performance levels.
Texas Rangers' Jacob deGrom has a strong record of 9-2 and an impressive 2.29 ERA, yet he may not even be the best pitcher on his team.
Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi may actually be performing better this season than deGrom, bringing the snub conversation into focus for fans.
MLB teams like the Chicago White Sox send representatives, such as Shane Smith, who, with a 3-7 record and low WAR, raise the question of fairness in All Star selections.
