Here are your 30 All-Star Team Affinity cards and other reveals

Actually chuckled, another joke of a selection
-
This Fernando Tatis card is a disgrace. I get that he’s been cold lately, but his offensive numbers are trash. His offense has been very similar to Lindor who got a great card.
-
Actually Sanchez didn't say no because he was more than willing but MLB said no because your pitching Sunday but he said he didn't care. He has a 50k bonus if he makes to the All Star game in his contract, luckily the Phillies decided to pay him that bonus anyway
-
Semantics, he/the team, were asked and declined to change their regular season schedule. Proud of the leadership for flipping off the league in this situation.
“The league had contacted manager Rob Thomson and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, inviting Sánchez to be an All-Star but only if he could pitch in Tuesday's game. The Phillies declined to change their pitching schedule, but opted to trigger the All-Star bonus in Sánchez's contract instead.”

Lindor is a switch hitter with a good swing who can make people use stubs.
Tatis has sucked against lefties this year, and they leaned into the source of his high WAR (defense and baserunning) which doesnt make for a great card. -
@Teak2112_MLBTS Tatis has an even better swing. People would absolutely use stubs to buy him if he was given a better card. Yes, Tatis has been bad against lefties, but his stats vs righties don’t add up comparatively. He got 99 contact and 95 power vs right for hitting .289/.377/.502 vs right. Lindor got 103 contact and 106 power for .267/.344/.484. It’s pretty clear they aren’t just going off their stats.
-
It's almost as if they are taking more than 1 year into account.
-
Its as simple as Lindor being the pack rare round
Tatis card is decently reflective of his season
Lindor's is not, over inflated contact (and clutch) and underinflated steal stat to make him 'worth it' to the god squadders.
-
@PAinPA_PSN Why on earth would they do that for a 2025 All Star card?
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Yeah, it just sucks. I’d rather a good Tatis card than Judge, Ohtani and most of these guys. The Padres theme team is really lacking too.

Thought you were comparing their years, they shouldn't, but they might if they just took their live series as a base and upgraded it to make it a 96
