Multiple Former Mets Named MLB 2025 All-Stars in Atlanta

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game featured notable performances and selections from both current and former players, highlighting the enduring talent associated with teams like the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies. Jacob deGrom, a former Mets ace now with Texas, has shown a strong comeback with a 2.32 ERA and 113 strikeouts, positioning him as a Cy Young candidate despite not pitching in the game. Zack Wheeler, another ex-Met, continues to excel with the Philadelphia Phillies, posting one of his best seasons yet. Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman represented his team as only the second catcher from Colorado to appear in the All-Star Game, following Elias Diaz's memorable MVP performance in 2023. The game also featured the New York Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Max Fried, with pregame and Home Run Derby festivities held at Truist Park in Atlanta. Meanwhile, NFL players like Giants quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, who have baseball backgrounds, continue to intrigue fans with their dual-sport potential, underscoring the cross-sport athleticism celebrated during the All-Star festivities.
