en-us SportSpyder - The Latest Toronto Blue Jays News https://sportspyder.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/news It looks like Toronto Blue Jays fans have been voting up a storm ahead of this year's MLB All-Star Game. Fan voting for who should appear at the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia is well underway, and a number of Blue Jays players are in contention. The league revealed its latest voting update on Monday, which revealed a few surprising results. Blue Jays fans appear to have formed quite a voting bloc, as several Toronto players are on pace to advance to the next round of voting. Chief among them is Ernie Clement, who leads all American League players with a whopping 2,054,130 votes. Ernie Clement leads American League players in All-Star voting with over 2M votes! The top vote-getter in each league through June 25 earns an automatic All-Star bid. — MLB (@MLB) Houston Astros DH Yordan Alvarez is second among AL players, sitting about 80,000 back of Clement with a total of 1,974,459. LA Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani leads the National League with 2,310,735 votes. The top vote-getters in the first round from the AL and NL will automatically clinch a spot at the All-Star Game. From there, the top two players in every position and the top six outfielders from each respective league will advance to a second round of voting. That means that Clement is on pace to bypass the second round altogether, but a lot can happen between now and the end of first-round voting on Thursday. As it stands, there is a Blue Jays player sitting in the top two of voting for five other positions. That includes Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sitting atop the AL first basemen ranks with 1,458,461 votes, while all of Alejandro Kirk, Andrés Giménez, Kazuma Okamoto, and George Springer are each sitting in second for their respective positions. Daulton Varsho and Jesús Sánchez are both on the outside-looking-in at seventh and eighth, respectively.
