Add The New York Post on Google The MLB’s All-Star rosters aren’t officially announced until Saturday night, but it seems the city of Philadelphia may have tipped the league’s hand.
Ahead of the game being played on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park, some decorations have gone up around the city — and they aren’t exactly subtle.
As documented by X user @gerawaycar, a slew of massive banners of players have gone up in the city, with some obvious and less-obvious names featured.
Unsurprisingly, Dodgers reigning NL MVP Shohei Ohtani, Pirates NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes and Mets star Juan Soto are expected to get All-Star nods based on the photos.
Additionally, Angels outfielder Mike Trout seems as though he will be an All-Star for a 12th time despite his .234 batting average.
Seems you’ll be seeing Yordan Alvarez on the AL’s 2026 All-Star Game roster. @gerawaycar/X Yankees ace Cam Schlittler also looks set for his first All-Star nod, while Padres star closer Mason Miller looks primed for his second All-Star appearance.
The aforementioned X user posted an entire thread of her findings online and seemed incredulous that the All-Star Game details were seemingly released ahead of time.

Either way, the AL and NL teams will be revealed officially at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday.
The Yankees have several All-Star hopefuls in Schlittler, first baseman Ben Rice, outfielder Cody Bellinger and perhaps Aaron Judge, although he will not compete in the game due to his injury.
Soto is the most-deserving candidate among the Mets, although reliever Luke Weaver has made a strong case. It’s usually difficult for setup men to earn spots, though.
