The star gardener of the New York Mets, Brandon Nimmo, is not a fan of the current stars selection process in Major League Baseball.
Each MLB team has at least one player in the star game, regardless of how worthy they are, because the league requires that each team must have a representative in the game.
Nimmo, 32, is not a fan of that process.

“I don’t think each team should get a person. It is supposed to be All-Stars. It is not supposed to be, ‘Who is the best player of each team?’ It is supposed to: “Who are the best players of the older leagues?” Nimmo told the New York Post.
“The process is broken.”
The rule of each team that is represented in the star game dates back to the early 1970s. Over the years, as the most deserving players have been rejected from the game due to the rule, the process has been attentive to the players and fans.

The left gardener of the Mets Star has had a 10 -year solid race, spending the 10 seasons with the Mets, but has never made the game of stars. Nimmo, in 1,001 career games, has an average professional batting of .261 with 128 homers and 424 races promoted with a .808 race.
While Nimmo and Soto will not be in the summer classic, the Mets have players in the star game. The Francisco Lindor Campocorto, the first base Pete Alonso, the Edwin Díaz closing and the starting pitcher David Peterson will be in Atlanta for the star game.
