MLB Makes Embarrassing Mistake by Putting 3 Non All-Stars on Banner at Progressive Field
By Jared Kish
Somebody is going to get fired for this one.
The MLB unveiled a banner for the 2019 All-Star game that features three players who aren't even making the trip to Cleveland for the festivities, yikes!

The poster features Eddie Rosario, Eloy Jimenez, and Adalberto Mondesi the three who are not at the All-Star game. The two the MLB got correct were Francisco Lindor and Shane Greene.
The only thing that makes logical sense for why these players are on the poster is that they are all from the AL Central. With Cleveland being the host city, and the Indians playing in the Central division, the MLB could have just made it a poster showcasing that division.
However, this is an All-Star Game and not a division showdown so the league should have realized their mistake before showing off the poster.

The league also featured a poster with Bryce Harper who is not at this years Midsummer Classic either. It feels like he's been at everyone since the start of his career but clearly the MLB didn't get the memo that he wasn't coming to Cleveland.
Overall, this is a bad job by the MLB and one that will have many employees jobs in question.
