The 2024 All-Star Game will be played in Arlington, at Globe Life Field, on July 16.
There will surely be multiple members of the Cleveland Guardians playing among the game’s brightest stars, as the team has been among the best in the American League this year with a 44-25 record.
Guardians insider Zack Meisel provided an update on how some of the best players on the squad are doing when it comes to the All-Star Game voting process.
“First MLB All-Star voting update: *José Ramírez is first in the voting at 3B (and has a massive lead) *Steven Kwan ranks fourth among outfielders (top six advance to final stage of voting) *Josh Naylor ranks third at 1B *David Fry ranks third at DH,” he tweeted.

Let’s remember, for argument’s sake, that starting fielders are selected by fans, pitchers are chosen by the managers, and reserves are picked by players and managers.
J-Ram looks to be a lock to start at third base in the Midsummer Classic if recent trends stay this way.
He has earned 742,910 votes, and the second-ranked third baseman, Baltimore Orioles’ Jordan Westburg, has 366,670.
The difference is considerable, and while there are still several days to go, J-Ram is in a very good position to start for the junior circuit at the hot corner.
Josh Naylor is currently third when it comes to first basemen, and the first two advance to the next phase of the voting process.
David Fry, perhaps the Guards’ most surprising breakout performer, is third in the DH voting.
One of baseball’s hottest hitters, Steven Kwan (who boasts a .398 batting average) is fourth among outfielders and is currently in position to advance to the next stage.
Depending on Kyle Tucker’s health, we might see Kwan starting in the outfield alongside New York Yankees stars Juan Soto and Aaron Judge.
