The playoff-bound Red Sox posted three All-Star selections in 2025 with Alex Bregman, Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman. The trio of offseason additions stood among the game’s top performers, though the closer was the only Boston player to suit up for the midsummer classic in Atlanta.
Baseball sits just over two months from the All-Star break, which this year will be held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia as part of America 250 celebrations across the country. The star-spangled celebration of the country’s national pastime should be a memorable installment.
While Boston remains under .500 to start the season, the Red Sox could still have legitimate representatives in the game.
Here are three Red Sox hopefuls who could find themselves in Philadelphia in mid-July:
Willson Contreras
2026 Stats (Entering Thursday): .264/.376/.481, .856 OPS, 8 HR, 23 RBI
Previous All-Star selections: 3 (2018, 2019, 2022)
Boston really can’t ask for much more from the veteran first baseman so far in a Red Sox uniform. He’s the lone source of true power in the lineup and his energy is a rare sparkplug for a clubhouse that’s needed exactly that time and time again.
Wilyer Abreu
2026 Stats (Entering Thursday): .299/.381/.467, .848 OPS, 5 HR, 16 RBI
Previous All-Star selections: N/A
Abreu already has a pair of Gold Gloves to his name. A strong start offensively could put Abreu in the All-Star conversation and earn more deserved national attention as a standout in Boston’s outfield log jam.
Aroldis Chapman
2026 Stats (Entering Thursday): 0-1, 0.77 ERA, 12 G, 9 SV, 14 K, 3 BB
Previous All-Star selections: 8 (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2025)
The Red Sox have had some lengthy stretches without Chapman pitching this season. Nonetheless, he’s done the job when his number gets called. The lefty put together a resurgent 2025 campaign where he was nearly unhittable for the Red Sox.
He may be a tick below that this season, but he’s still one of the better relievers in the sport.
