Mets Stars Criticize MLB 'Broken' All-Star Selection Process
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto faced criticism after he downplayed his exclusion from the 2025 MLB All-Star Game by highlighting the financial bonus he missed, despite earning nearly $47 million this season. Broadcaster Michael Kay called Soto's comments tone-deaf, emphasizing the disparity between Soto's salary and the All-Star bonus. Mets teammate Brandon Nimmo also voiced strong disapproval of MLB's All-Star selection process, criticizing the policy that mandates every team must have a representative, which led to lesser-performing players being chosen over Soto. Nimmo argued the process is broken and should focus on selecting the best players league-wide rather than ensuring team representation. Meanwhile, Mets pitcher David Peterson was a late addition to the All-Star roster as a replacement, earning praise from Mets manager Carlos Mendoza for his strong first half of the season. The debate highlights ongoing frustrations with MLB's All-Star selection criteria and the mixed value players place on the event.
