Rosters for the 2025 All-Star Game, to be played July 15 in Atlanta, don’t necessarily represent a changing of the guard within Major League Baseball. Yet the 64 players selected to the National League and American League rosters announced July 6 indicate another wave of fresh talent has landed.
James Wood is in: The Washington Nationals’ 6-foot-7 outfielder whose .943 OPS leads NL outfielders will make the first of what’s expected to be many All-Star appearances.
Hunter Brown is in: The Houston Astros ace, who’d be the favorite to start the game in a Tarik Skubal-free environment, leads the major leagues with a 1.82 ERA and the AL with a 0.90 WHIP.
Among those not getting, at least for now, a golden ticket to Cobb County: Cubs slugger Michael Busch, Rays infielder Junior Caminero and Phillies shortstop Trea Turner. But stay tuned: Injury and pitching replacements will dominate this space for the next nine days until the Midsummer Classic tips off.
