The 2024 MLB All-Star rosters’ 8 biggest snubs: Where’s Francisco Lindor and a bunch of Orioles?

Some big names were left off the rosters. Let’s break them down.

The full list of 2024 MLB All-Star players on the American and National League rosters — including the starters — and we’ve got some stars having really, really good seasons who got left out.

Of course we know this happens every year in every sport: Inevitably, some talent gets left out for one reason (roster size) or another (in this case, every MLB team needs to be represented, which doesn’t help).

So let’s go over some of the guys left out, and maybe if there’s an injury or any other reason a player has to bow out, this list will provide some good replacements.

Here we go, in no particular order:

1. SS Francisco Lindor, New York Mets

Here, this should convince you:

2. 1B Christian Walker, Arizona Diamondbacks

C’mon!

3. OF Brandon Nimmo, New York Mets

Dude’s got 53 RBI this year!

4. OF Anthony Santander, Baltimore Orioles

What’s with the Orioles snubs?

5. RP Craig Kimbrel, Baltimore Orioles

See above.

6. SP Cristopher Sanchez, Philadelphia Phillies

Hard to complain when the Phils have a bunch of their hurlers on the squad. But a snub is a snub!

7. 2B Brice Turang, Milwaukee Brewers

A .288 average and 29 swipes! Not on the team!

8. SP Ronel Blanco, Houston Astros

Kind of wild given the year he’s having.
