It's official, the Chicago Cubs will only have one player going to Miami for the 2017 MLB All-Star Game next Tuesday, as Kris Bryant fell short of winning the final vote contest. Justin Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers received the most fan votes out of the five candidates in the National League and rightfully so is now an All-Star.
Wade Davis will be the lone Cubs representative for the National League team.
Bryant finished second in voting.
Good try, good effort Cubs fans, but Turner currently has a 3.9 fWAR compared to Bryant's 2.5 fWAR. The better player got voted in. This is the first time the reigning MVP has not made the following year's All-Star Game since Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies.
