The 2024 edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star game is just over a month away, which means it’s time for fans to send in their picks for who they want to see represent the American and National League teams.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman are doing their best to put together the best and most deserving teams for the Midsummer Classic, which will take place in Arlington, Texas in July. While there are a few obvious selections like Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Justin Tucker in the AL outfield, other position battles like the AL shortstop pick will make for some fun races to watch as the votes enter.
Also in this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Castthe guys talk about Juan Soto’s forearm tightness and why New York Yankees fans shouldn’t worry too much about the injury just yet, Gunnar Henderson’s ascension despite his draft status and the epic Paul Skenes matchup and Shohei Otahni earlier this week in Pittsburg.
Jake and Jordan then give their picks for this week’ The good, the bad and the Uggla and highlights a few weekend games, including the London Series between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.
