The Toronto Blue Jays have a lot of players at the top of there game right now which is why it is expected that Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette and Alejandro Kirk should all be at the All-Star game this season.
Kirk has been the biggest surprise this season as he has been one of the best catchers in the league and has been completely dominant at the plate for Toronto so far this season.
Three Blue Jays should be selected for the All-Star game
The All-Star game is coming up in the next month and many believe that Toronto will have three players representing the Blue Jays as Guerrero, Bichette and Kirk should all be there.
Bichette has some serious competition when it comes to other AL shortstops but with his high production in RBIs, he should have a real shot at being selected this season.
Compared to other flashy shortstops on the All-Star ballot like Jeremy Pena and Bobby Witt Jr. for the American League, Bo Bichette doesn't stand out much in the batting average or OPS categories. However, where he shines is his home run record and the number of RBIs he's generated. -Chung
Some fans have been disappointed with Guerrero's performance so far this season but that is because of the massive contract he signed to start the year because his numbers have actually been pretty solid.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been productive this season, even if he hasn't quite been as elite as everyone expected him to be. But Guerrero Jr. has slashed .278/.380/.421 and ranks second in batting among Blue Jays' hitters. -Chung
Kirk on the other hand seems to be a lock at this point as he has been an absolute machine for the Blue Jays this season both at the plate and behind it which makes him the lock out of the three.
Alejandro Kirk has proved the league wrong this year and has been on a tear, especially during this Blue Jays' hot streak. One of the more notable adjustments the Mexican native made was his hard hit percentage, which used to be at 40.9% in the past year but has jumped to a whopping 55.8% this season so far. -Chung
Hopefully all three players make it this season and give fans a real reason to watch the weekend festivities.
