Blue Jays predicted to lead AL with five All-Star representatives

The Toronto Blue Jays completely took over the fan voting for the 2026 All-Star Game, already locking up a spot for Ernie Clement as they voted him as the AL's leading vote-getter.

Now, in Phase 2, with multiple representatives up for spots on the roster, the only one looking likely to earn a spot is Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who led the AL first base voting over Ben Rice. But, after those two, who else could earn All-Star nods?

Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer predicted full All-Star rosters, and for Blue Jays fans, this strong representation, with five players making the team, would see Toronto send the most players of any AL club to Philadelphia for the All-Star Game.

Blue Jays predicted to have 5 All-Stars sent to Philly

"TOR (5): 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 2B Ernie Clement, SP Dylan Cease, RHP Louis Varland, RHP Tyler Rogers," Rymer predicts.

Of these five All-Star predictions, Clement and Guerrero are the least surprising, as Clement is already an All-Star, and Guerrero is looking likely to be the AL's first baseman through the fan voting in Phase 2.

While those two might not be the most deserving All-Stars, especially Guerrero, these three other All-Star predictions are very deserving options to send to Philadelphia.

Cease has a 3.02 ERA and 128 strikeouts, which is the most in the American League this season. He's been the best pitcher on the Blue Jays roster, and his strikeout total and recent dominance are enough for a respectable All-Star bid.

Varland is one of the more obvious All-Stars, as he has a 0.98 ERA this season with 64 strikeouts in 41 appearances with 17 saves and no blown saves this season. One of the best, if not the best, closers in baseball is a near-lock for the All-Star Game.

Lastly, Rymer is predicting that Rogers gets an All-Star nod. He has 20 strikeouts and a 1.82 ERA this season in 41 games and in 39.2 innings, as he's been one of the better relievers in baseball. 

Despite being 11.5 games back in the AL East and 41-46 overall, the Blue Jays are predicted to have the most representatives at the All-Star Game for any AL team.

This would be an interesting group of All-Star representatives, as the biggest name here, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., would be the player least deserving of an All-Star spot.

But, with the Blue Jays fanbase taking over voting, Guerrero is likely to win, which would give them five total All-Stars, according to Rymer's prediction.
