ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Believe it or not baseball fans, but the 2023 MLB All-Star Game is almost upon us!

Selected players across the league will compete on Tuesday, July 11 in Seattle, Washington as the best in the American and National leagues face off against each other.

The MLB will have two phases of voting this year, with the first phase allowing fans to vote daily for their favorite Rays players. You can do so by clicking here.

After the first phase is over, the overall top-voted players in each conference will automatically get a starting spot at their respective positions.
