Rangers’ pitcher Martín Pérez is team’s lone All-Star selection
Starts a game Saturday, isn’t his best,
Pérez is the only Rangers’ All-Star, added by the commissioner’s office after fan voting and – surprisingly – player voting didn’t produce a representative. Both Perez and catcher Jonah Heim, who has gone from backup to leading AL catchers in homers, were deserving, based on their performances.After three years with other clubs and shuffling between the rotation and the bullpen, he wanted to be back with the Rangers. He’s referred to it as “home” more than once.
Pérez has been open about his disappointment after the Rangers decided not to pick up an option in his contract following 2018. He’s been open about a divorce the following year and his desire to be closer with his kids. His children were with him Saturday when he proposed to his girlfriend Mari Guevara.
Trevino will be the backup to All-Star starter Alejandro Kirk of Toronto. MLB does not release results of player voting past those who are selected.
