The 2025 MLB All-Star rosters have been set for the upcoming July 15th exhibition, including a diverse array of new & old faces, plenty of first time entries, 3 starters each for the Los Angeles Dodgers & Detroit Tigers, and as always - a few notable omissions.
Spotrac dives into the rosters with our annual look at how these players were acquired by their current team, as well as financial futures for each.
American League
AL Starters
The Tigers lead the way with 3 players on the starting roster. Two players (Torres/O’Hearn) are pending free agents this winter, with the latter squarely in trade discussions this month. Jacob Wilson is the odds on favorite to win AL Rookie of the Year.

AL Pitchers
The AL pitching staff comes with plenty of contractual control with one glaring exception: Tarik Skubal. One of the game’s best arms will be heading into his final offseason of control this coming winter, and should be commanded top of the market numbers to remain in Detroit.
