Four Blue Jays Named to the All-Star Team

MLB has announced the players selected for the All-Star game. Now some of these guys will opt out of going, and some pitchers will pitch the day before the break and be unavailable for the game, so there will be others who will be All-Stars.

The Jays named:

• Kevin Gausman
• Vladimir Guerrero
• Whit Merrifield
• Bo Bichette

Nice to see Merrifield get noticed. Vlad? Well, he will be there for the Home Run Derby, and people will like seeing him at the game.
