MLB Announces 2025 All-Star Rosters

By Mark Polishuk | July 6, 2025 at 4:44pm CDT

The starting lineups for the 95th All-Star Game were revealed earlier this week, and the league has now announced the rest of the American League and National League rosters for the upcoming Midsummer Classic on July 15 in Atlanta.  Each roster is comprised of 32 players — the nine starting position players determined by fan voting, and then 23 pitchers and backup position players selected by both a player ballot and input from the Commissioner’s office.

The league’s share of the reserve picks will help adhere to the rule that every team must have at least one All-Star rep.  This rule could also be observed via substitutions that will inevitably be named to the rosters in the coming days, as some players won’t participate in the All-Star Game due to injury or personal choice.  The starting pitchers won’t be announced until July 14, with each team’s manager (Aaron Boone for the AL and Dave Roberts for the NL) deciding who will get the honor of the All-Star start.

The Dodgers lead the way with five players selected, while the Tigers and Mariners each had four players selected.  Nineteen of the players in this year’s game are making their All-Star debuts.  Clayton Kershaw made the team specifically as a “Legend Pick” from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, in a nod to Kershaw’s performance over what is sure to be a Hall-of-Fame career.

          Surprised Bregman is an all-star considering how much time he has missed. Definitely should take the time to make sure he is ready. Excellent to hear the all-stars are going to wear there own team uniforms again. Very nostalgic.

      Well, it’s not egregious, but Matt Chapman could well have been included for the NL, but the Giants already have 3 pitchers on the team. And often very good players don’t make it.

        Joe Ryan is third in the AL in pitcher WAR, behind only Skubal and Brown. His being left off is a travesty. Shane Smith as an all star is a joke, and while they had to pick someone from the White Sox, Davis Martin is pitching better than Smith.

          I’d rather watch another guy getting a chance to be rewarded for good play and not name recognition. I am not saying acuna isn’t a good player but he doesn’t deserve it over other players that deserve to have all star added to their player name. There isn’t any reason to actually make an all star game anymore except the prestige and popularity shouldn’t be rewarded the way play is.

          Yes I did. So if if continues to pitch well and exceed 140 IP, he will more than likely become a free agent. He will be 31 years old, probably looking for a 4/5 year deal $30 + million per. At least ,I assume.

          Cdc – He’s looking very likely to surpass the 140 innings.

          He has 14 starts remaining, figure he will average 6 innings each start …. that’s 84 innings plus the 66 innings he’s already pitched …. that’s 150 innings.

          And the thing is, he’s dominating against good teams …. Tampa, Seattle, SF and Toronto.

          Between him and Story, I’m feeling pretty good about my preseason expectations ;O)

          He may be ,if he continues to pitch well a very sought after arm. I’ve read he really enjoys it here. Not that I would expect him to give to much of a discount. The Sox would definitely be in the need for a #2/3 starter. Several good ones will be available. Peralta,Cease, Valdez to name a couple. Of course there is a bunch of season left and much can and will happen. Hopefully he dominates for the rest of the year.

          cdc – Agreed! As the NESN guys correctly pointed out, Giolito has been the ace of the staff the past few weeks …. not Crochet, who has been roughed up his last two starts against teams that are not good. His ERA right now is basically the same as Houck’s going into the break last year …. hopefully Crochet can avoid the second half struggles that Houck went through.

          I like the way Crochet is built. Thick lower half. Very strong. He is probably going to blow past his most innings pitched. Which is a concern, especially if we go to the (OMG) playoffs. Pitching is such a crapshoot. I’ve mentioned before 3 out of the top 4 guys , Snell,Sasaki and Burnes all on big time IL. Fried , being the 4th is pitching exceptionally. Do you realize the 2021 White Sox had Giolito,Cease,Rodon as well as a young Crochet and Kopech on the there staff. Crazy.

          cdc – I agree, the natural concern is that perhaps Crochet is tiring. His velocity has definitely been down the past couple starts. He is a very big, strong guy, but that doesn’t always translate to Nolan Ryan-esque endurance.

          The way the team pushes their pitchers to throw as hard as possible still troubles me. Yesterday the NESN guys were saying Fitts desperately wants to reach 100MPH because the team would reward him with a T-shirt and give him special recognition. He’s already been around 98-99 MPH, is it really worth risking injury just for an additional 1-2 MPH?

          Yes the ChiSox have really been in a downward spiral the past few years, winning is not a priority for them. They are already on pace for the worst record in MLB history, and yet they still will be selling off some of their better players at the trade deadline. A salary floor can’t come fast enough.

          cdc – Yeah that’s been their mantra for a while, throw as hard as you can as often as you can.

          Hey I’m just glad they FINALLY realized pushing a huge launch angle is not the way to go. Did you hear them talking about it last night on the postgame? I really love watching pregame and postgame, I get a lot of information that way. I thought it was really cool how Roman and Marcelo pushed back on the launch angle thing and said they were gonna focus on line drives ….. really made me happy to hear. And like the NESN guys said, when you hit the ball on the ground at 112 MPH like Roman did last night you’re gonna get your share of hits.

          Honestly this is the happiest I’ve been about the offensive approach in a long time!

    There are at least 3 injury replacements to come (Sale, Bregman, Pena), and possibly 4 with Brandon Lowe leaving the game today. There will also be a few starters who throw next Sunday, who will have to be replaced. So some of the “snubs” will get their due.

    I think the biggest surprise for me was the inclusion of two middle relievers (Adam and Rodriguez) on the NL squad when there were some deserving closers (Pagan, Suarez, Megill). And it’s not like either the Padres or Giants didn’t have other representation.

    FYI, the Pirates pulled Skenes after 5 innings today (78 pitches) to make sure he’s lined up to start the ASG for the NL.

      I concur, he’s deserving as anyone they picked, but Boone wasn’t going to put 6 Tigers on the roster. Best should be in there too! But you have to spread the roster out to make everyone happy, just a fact of life.

        I think you meant Vest. McKinstry won today’s game against Cleveland with his base running. He’s played 3B, SS, 2B, LF, RF, CF,and today, 1B. He changed his swing and is hitting for average, as well as against LH pitching. He is 38th in WAR. He is a deserving All-Star.

          It will be by next week…..Seiya was not going to get more votes than Ohtani and when it comes to reserves the players were always going to choose Schwarber over Seiya…that’s just how it happens.

          When replacements happen and the league chooses, I’m guessing Seiya is pretty high on the list.

    They need to get rid of the rule that every team gets an all star. The Marlins and Rockies should have zero reps. How does Juan Soto not make the all star team? How does Ronald Acuna make it, he has barely played? Seiya Suzuki deserved to be an all star. Get rid of fan voting and let all the managers decide. Or better yet, just let me choose who is and who isn’t an all star, I can come up with more deserving players then the ones that were chosen

      It’s an exhibition game for the fans. Who cares. More fans obviously wanted to see Acuña in it than Soto. And every fan is not someone posting on MLB TR daily. Some are kids who follow their hometown team and those fans deserve to have their team represented in the exhibition game. They should also have a say in who they want to see play in it. The same whining fans whine about the same thing every. single. year.

      its actually super easy and pretty much anyone thats seen a baseball game and probably even ones that havent would know why Ronald Acuna is in there over Soto especially experts.

      First the game is in Atlanta and the home town hero pretty much gets in. Second Soto was dreadful for the first month and change for the season because he needed to adjust and people were pissed after he got the big contract. Third Acuna in per game has been better by pretty much every statistic and if it wasnt a herculean effort in June Soto wouldnt even be mentioned in the all stars this season and its a decent sample size and his history of it means it.

      I love Soto and im glad he is swinging like he used to but it was just too much ground to make up to make it to the all star game. Probably gets in as an alternate.

          correct but again i point to first point, he is the hometown hero so of course he is getting in. Acuna had more votes before even playing.

          Also Soto heated up a lot after the initial voting if i remember right initially Soto was like 6th or 7th and that was because of name. People were booing him at that point because his poor play which was adjustment time. Should those votes be counted or should they be removed? Those votes definitely were not deserved. and could be argued those votes should have gone to nimmo over him if you were going to give it to a mets player.

    What are the chances Jose Ramirez gets traded this month? Cleveland is cooked this season and they really don’t look like they’ve got a seriously competitive team up-and-coming for 2026 either, Jose is nearly 33 with 3 years and $69 million left on the deal after this season, plus he has a full no trade clause… but, I could see him wanting a shot to win and I think it would actually be a smooth move for them to trade him right now because they could extract huge value out of him while he’s still in his prime.
