Tigers Aim for All-Star Game Takeover: Torres, Greene, and Báez in Contention

Gleyber Torres:: Led voting at second base in the first phase, boasting a .816 OPS, the highest among qualified second basemen in the Majors. Why this matters: Torres' resurgence after joining the Tigers as a free agent validates his decision to bet on himself, proving he can still perform at an All-Star level.

Riley Greene:: In contention for one of the two outfield spots, Greene ranks among the top five AL hitters in home runs, doubles, total bases, and OPS. Why this matters: Greene's consistent performance and recent hitting streak make him a strong candidate, solidifying his place as a key player for the Tigers.

Javier Báez:: Made a late surge in voting, reflecting fan appreciation for his comeback season and willingness to play multiple positions. Why this matters: Báez's versatility and improved performance showcase his value to the team, earning him a potential third All-Star start at a different position.

Historical Context:: If Torres, Greene, and Báez are all voted in, it would be a significant milestone for the Tigers. Torres could be the third Tigers second baseman voted to start, while Greene and Báez could be the first pair of Tigers outfielders to start since 1976.

Impact:: The Tigers' strong performance this season has undoubtedly boosted their players' chances of making the All-Star team. With the best record in baseball, the Tigers have captured the attention of fans and voters alike.

How to Prepare:: Fans can vote at MLB.com/vote, Tigers.com, and the MLB app. Remember that in phase two, you can only vote once per day.
