All-Star voting has begun, and the Detroit Tigers have a few players deserving of a spot

Voting for the 2022 MLB All-Star game has begun, and the Detroit Tigers, with their current record of 24-34, aren’t likely to get a ton of representation on the American League roster once again. Their past few All-Star nods have gone to relievers, and that could very well happen again this season.

It’s highly unlikely that any position players get a spot on the team. Nobody is performing anywhere close to being deserving of an All-Star nod. It’s been well-documented that the pitching has carried the team in 2022.

Still, stranger things have happened. You never know who’s going to get hurt between now and the All-Star break. And who knows, someone like Austin Meadows could get hot and play himself into a spot. The Detroit Tigers could always end up with more spots than anyone realized.

The All-Star game doesn’t have quite the spectacle it used to have. Most of that now belongs to the Home Run Derby. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to see a player with your favorite team’s logo on their jersey at the game.

With all that being said, here are three players for the Detroit Tigers who could represent the team at the 2022 MLB All-Star game.
