## Resource

It's that time again, where we at Baseball Isn't Boring get all of our weight behind a player who might be on the edge of All-Star candidacy, but we truly believe deserves the recognition. This time around? It's White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth. Bradfo talks to Chase while also making the case for his spot on the AL team. We also break down some interesting debates regarding the AL All-Star team, including a possible showdown between Tarik Skubal and Payton Tolle for one of the spots. It's the perfect primer for the All-Star festivities in Philly.
