Juan Soto All-Star Snub - Robbery or Justified?
Can’t believe Juan Soto got snubbed for the All-Star Game. I get that .269 isn’t eye-popping, but the man leads MLB with 72 walks, has 21 homers, and just drove in the game-winner last night on the first pitch in extras. That’s clutch gene stuff right there.
Mendoza’s comments after the game really show how much this stings. “He’s an All-Star for us” - you can hear the frustration. When your $700 million investment doesn’t make the team, that’s gotta hurt the organization’s pride.

The 72 walks tell the whole story about how much opposing pitchers respect him. His plate discipline is elite level, and when he decides to be aggressive like last night, he delivers. That’s exactly what you want from a franchise cornerstone.
Sure, the average isn’t great, but OBP and situational hitting matter more than raw batting average in 2025. Plus, he’s been the most consistent threat in a Mets lineup that’s been up and down all season.
Do you think Soto deserved the All-Star nod, or is this just Mets fans being homer? Drop your NL outfield picks below.
