MLB All-Star starters revealed
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game starters are locked in — Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, three Tigers, and more fresh faces ready to light up the Midsummer Classic.
Eighteen smashmouth position players got the tap on the shoulder from their manager: “Hey now, you’re an All-Star.” The 2025 MLB All-Star Game starters for both leagues were announced yesterday, with the complete rosters, including pitchers and reserve position players, set to be unveiled on Sunday.

In the know: Aaron Judge became the first player to repeat as the leading All-Star Game vote-getter since A-Rod did it in 2007-08. Three Tigers players were also named starters, tied for the most with the Dodgers; the Motor City Kitties haven’t fielded an All-Star starter since Miguel Cabrera in 2014.
Looking ahead…The MLB is set to have a busier July than jet ski-rental companies in the Outer Banks. The All-Star Game and Draft both take place over the next two weeks, while the trade deadline goes into effect on July 31.
