In each player's first season with the Red Sox, the veteran trio was chosen to participate in the MLB All-Star Game on July 15 in Atlanta.
In November, the Red Sox signed closer Aroldis Chapman, now an eight-time All-Star. Garrett Crochet, who arrived via trade in December, is making his second appearance. And Alex Bregman, who Cora previously coached in 2017 for the Houston Astros, is headed to his third Midsummer Classic.
The selection of Shane Smith as the White Sox representative for the 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta was more than just the highest of honors for the right-hander. This moment was history being made.
Boston’s three All-Star selections match last year’s total when Rafael Devers, Jarren Duran and Tanner Houck all made it. The last time a first-year Red Sox player was named an All-Star was just two years ago when Kenley Jansen represented the American League after signing a two-year free-agent deal the winter prior.
