In what has certainly been a bizarre year for the Dodgers, why should the All-Star selections be any less bizarre? As things currently stand, the reigning NL champion Dodgers are only assured of sending two representatives to the 2018 All-Star Game in Washington D.C.
By comparison, the 2017 Dodgers had 6 players named to the All-Star Team. Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen all made the team as reserves. Justin Turner was selected by the fans as the final NL player in a special internet run-off election. Alex Wood ultimately replaced Kershaw, who was ineligible to participate due to a regularly scheduled start the Sunday before the All-Star Game. It was the Dodgers best showing for an All-Star Game in nearly 30 years.
This year, 2018, the representation for the Boys in Blue is smaller but there is still a lot to look forward to. As things stand right now, let’s take a look at your 2018 Dodger NL All-Stars.
