On Sunday, we learned that Seattle Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert is headed to his first All-Star Game. He spoke upon learning it about another M's pitcher he wants to see join him in Texas.
"First, I do want to say congrats to Muny on a great first half. I think you are definitely deserving and I feel like you will be added for sure."
We will find out the All-Star replacements later in the week but Munoz certainly has an opportunity to be named to the AL squad, which is managed by Bruce Bochy of the Rangers. Despite dealing with a back issue, he's had an outstanding season, saving 14 games thus far in 36 appearances. He's pitched to a sterling 1.50 ERA, striking out 43 batters in 36.0 innings this year as well.
He's been the anchor of a bullpen that has lost Matt Brash for the season and has yet to see Gregory Santos pitch because of a lat issue. Furthermore, Gabe Speier has been out for more than a month too. Each of those arms were supposed to supplement Munoz at the back end, but he's had to do it with a different supporting cast of Trent Thornton and Ryne Stanek, among others.get there, they need to finish out the first half of the season.
