The 'Big Dumper' is guaranteed to end up at the Midsummer Classic, but M's fans undoubtedly want him to earn the start in Atlanta. The final phase of voting begins Monday.

Seattle Mariners catcher and current MLB home run leader Cal Raleigh announced that he will be participating in the 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Atlanta next month.

Raleigh is on pace to join Johnny Bench in 1974 and Joe Torre in 1970 as the only players whose primary position was catcher in MLB history to reach 700 plate appearances in a season, becoming too essential on both sides of the ball for the Mariners to rest him. Not that he’d want to, anyway.
