Yankees can't help but laugh as Juan Soto's peers show him ultimate All-Star disrespect

Baseball fans made their opinion loud and clear over the extended All-Star voting process: Juan Soto, you are not deserving of a trip to Atlanta. Thankfully, his peers across the league had a chance to rectify things. Surely, their love for Soto's humble style of play would guide them to the correct answe -- oh. Well, then.

Early reports of Soto's unhappiness in Queens appear to have been overblown; after hearing the noise, the one-of-a-kind slugger blew the top off Citi Field in June instead, hitting .322 with 11 home runs in the month. The slow start was real, but it's now all but disappeared as the Shuffle has returned. His current .915 OPS is just a tick below his .950 career average, and he looks a lot like the most well-known version of himself.

And, as it turns out, his fellow players hate that!

After Sunday's All-Star roster reveal, the player voting results leaked out, and it turns out Soto's teammates and rivals ranked him ... well, actually, we have no idea where they ranked him! He didn't finish among the top six outfielders on the player ballot. Notably, he finished behind Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Braves, who has only played in 39 games thus far (and had played in far fewer when the player voting was recorded). Mets fans were frothing at the mouth to blame the "uneducated fans" for sending Acuña Jr. to the game, but it turns out the players don't know ball either, we guess? Tough break.

Juan Soto snubbed for the All-Star Game roster, bypassed in favor of a ton of players. Yankees snuck Jazz Chisholm Jr. onto All-Star roster.

What are we doing? No, no - what are *MLB's players across the broad spectrum of the entire league* doing? Don't pin this one on us.

If Soto wasn't "glum" in Queens before, perhaps he will be now as he stalks the opposing clubhouse every night, grilling the visitors to see who they voted for over him. Surely, it doesn't feel fantastic that Aaron Judge, his former teammate, was the overwhelming leading vote-getter in the American League, while Soto was tied to his early-season slump in the eyes of many.

Soto might make the All-Star Game when the dust settles, but ... his fellow players really didn't want him there. It doesn't actually speak volumes, but it's fun to be cheeky and build another myth here.
