Good morning, Mets fans!
On Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today shared the results of the first round of MLB All-Star 2026 voting. As seems to always be the case, the first returns show a bit of a popularity contest, rather than voting the best players for the game.
On the Mets side of things, only Juan Soto and Bo Bichette are in the top 10 of their respective positions. Despite Soto having the third-best OPS in the National League at .944, he is ninth among outfielders in voting with 421,513. Bichette is eighth among third basemen with 107,385 votes.
