Astros' Isaac Paredes Named 2025 MLB All-Star, Replacing Jose Ramirez

News summary

Isaac Paredes, the Houston Astros third baseman, has been named to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game roster as a replacement for Cleveland's José Ramírez, marking his second consecutive All-Star selection. Paredes, 26, has had a standout first half of the season with the Astros, posting a .255 batting average, 19 home runs, 49 RBIs, and an .829 OPS, the highest among qualified Astros hitters. His journey to the Astros was notable, as he was traded twice within a year, moving from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Chicago Cubs, and then to Houston in exchange for Kyle Tucker. Paredes has become a key offensive player for the Astros, who currently lead the AL West, and his performance has solidified his value, with projections suggesting a lucrative future contract. Alongside Paredes, Mexico will have a record four players in the All-Star Game, including Alejandro Kirk, Jonathan Aranda, and Andrés Muñoz, highlighting a historic moment for Mexican representation in MLB. The Astros will be well represented in Atlanta with Paredes joining teammates Hunter Brown, Jeremy Pena, and Josh Hader on the American League roster.
