The Boston Red Sox will have a strong presence at the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, with three current players earning spots on the American League's final roster. In addition to these representatives, some former Red Sox players have also been recognized for their remarkable performances this season.
One familiar face among the honorees is Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite a recent injury that has sidelined him temporarily, Betts has showcased his talent as the starting shortstop for the Dodgers. With a batting average of .304, 10 home runs, 16 doubles, and 40 RBIs, Betts has proven his worth and earned his eighth consecutive All-Star appearance.
Joining Betts is Chris Sale, who was traded from the Red Sox to the Atlanta Braves during the offseason. Seeking a fresh start, Sale has found success with the Braves, posting an impressive 11-3 record, a 2.71 ERA, and 127 strikeouts. This stellar performance has put Sale in contention for the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Award.
Another former Red Sox player receiving recognition is Matt Strahm, now with the Philadelphia Phillies. Strahm has excelled in his role as a reliever with the Phillies, boasting a 4-1 record and an impressive 1.64 ERA in 35 appearances. His contributions have contributed to his team's success and earned him a spot at the All-Star Game.
These former Red Sox players will join three current Red Sox representatives: Rafael Devers, Jarren Duran, and Tanner Houck, who have all been selected for the American League's final roster.
The 94th annual MLB All-Star Game will take place at Globe Life Field in Texas. This highly anticipated match between the National League and the American League is scheduled for next Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
As fans eagerly await the exciting showdown, the inclusion of these former Red Sox players adds an extra layer of intrigue to the event. All eyes will be on Betts, Sale, and Strahm as they compete alongside their fellow All-Stars.
