The 10 Biggest Snubs From the 2026 MLB All
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- MLB announced full All-Star rosters with 32 players each for the American and National Leagues, ensuring every MLB team is represented at the Midsummer Classic.
- Several standout players were notably left off the rosters due to limited spots and the fan vote system favoring popular players over some top performers.
- American League snubs include pitchers Sonny Gray (Red Sox) and Davis Martin (White Sox), as well as position players Jonathan Aranda (Rays), Willson Contreras (Red Sox), and Nick Martinez (Rays).
- National League notable omissions include pitchers Zack Wheeler (Phillies), Justin Wrobleski (Dodgers), and Braxton Ashcraft (Pirates), along with infielders JJ Wetherholt (Cardinals) and Brice Turang (Brewers).
- Some of these players may still be added as injury replacements, but many had strong seasons that they believed warranted All-Star selection.
