Cubs, Tigers Multiple Players Start MLB All-Star Game

Pete Crow-Armstrong and Javier Báez, once traded for each other between the Mets and Cubs in 2021, have both been selected as starters for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, representing the Cubs and Detroit Tigers respectively. Báez, who struggled initially after the trade, has reinvented himself as an outfielder with a strong season that places him among the few players to start an All-Star Game at three or more positions. Crow-Armstrong has emerged as one of the top MLB outfielders, notable for his combination of 20-plus home runs and stolen bases and leading National League outfielders in defensive runs saved. Both the Cubs and Tigers currently lead their divisions, reflecting the impact of these players. Alongside them, other notable All-Star starters include Cubs teammate Kyle Tucker, Tigers' Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene, and top vote-getters like Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. The All-Star Game is set to take place on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta.
