Cubs Have A Couple First-Timers Named As All-Star Starters

Although Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo aren't all-stars this season, it doesn't mean the Chicago Cubs won't be well represented at the 2018 MLB All-Star Game. On Sunday night, Willson Contreras and Javier Baez were named to the National League all-star squad as starters.

First-time all-star appearances for Contreras and Baez.

Jon Lester was also named to his fifth all-star team.

Here's the starting outfield for the National League All-Star team.

And the rest of the National League.

Oh and as a reminder, the winner of the All-Star Game no longer earn home-field advantage for their league in the World Series. That stupid rule was changed after 2016.
