All-Star Alert: Reds and Cubs Shine Bright

The MLB All-Star rosters were announced, and both the Reds and Cubs will be well-represented. Elly De La Cruz earns his second All-Star nod, bringing his electrifying speed and swagger to the National League squad.

Meanwhile, the Cubs’ claws are fully sunk into Atlanta’s Truist Park, sending Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, and Matthew Boyd — with Boyd pitching his way into the conversation after an elite first half.

The Dodgers lead the league with five All-Stars — Clayton Kershaw returning as the sentimental favorite alongside Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and others. The Tigers and Mariners each boast four, with hometown Braves sending three.

For the Reds, Cubs, and the rest of the All-Star cast, July 15 promises to be a midsummer night’s dream — full of dingers, dazzling defense, and plenty of mascot-worthy moments under the Atlanta lights.
