BALTIMORE — Brandon Nimmo desires solely one of the best gamers within the All-Star sport.
Talking not only for his Mets teammate Juan Soto, who’s absent from the Nationwide League roster for Tuesday’s Midsummer Traditional, however himself — as somebody missed for a spot in earlier years — Nimmo instructed The Publish on Thursday that he’s no fan of the rule that locations a consultant from every workforce into the occasion.
“The process is broken,” Nimmo mentioned earlier than the Mets performed a doubleheader in opposition to the Orioles at Camden Yards. “I don’t think every team should get a person. It’s supposed to be All-Stars. It’s not supposed to be, ‘Who is the best player on every team?’ It’s supposed to be ‘Who are the best players in the major leagues?’”
To that finish, Nimmo is pissed off that Soto — whose .903 OPS coming into Thursday night time’s play ranked ninth in MLB — was not chosen to the NL roster.
