Blue Jays’ Guerrero, Bichette, Merrifield and Gausman named to AL all-star team

The American League hits leader was among four Toronto Blue Jays who were named to Major League Baseball’s midseason exhibition on Sunday. Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., ace Kevin Gausman and second baseman Whit Merrifield will join Bichette at the all-star game. Bichette was an all-star in 2021 and he said that now he’s older he’ll appreciate the honour more. Guerrero announced on Friday that he would be participating in the home run derby with Blue Jays manager John Schneider throwing to him in that exhibition. He said that his fresh start with the Blue Jays led to his third all-star appearance.
