Marcus Stroman walked out to greet reporters Sunday wearing a 2019 All-Star Game hat and a Muggsy Bogues T-shirt.
"Dansby got a couple claps, Stro got a couple claps and the place kind of erupted for Steely, so it was cool," Ross said. As the hat suggested, Stroman was an all-star in 2019 with Toronto, but did not take the mound during the game in Cleveland. Swanson's all-star appearance was last year with Atlanta and he went 0-for-2 at the plate after replacing Trea Turner.
Steele's climb has been interesting. He was drafted by the Cubs in 2014 out of high school in Lucedale, Miss., at the same time as Dylan Cease, who was later traded to the White Sox. Steele finally made his major league debut in 2021. The day of the All-Star Game will be his 28th birthday."The maturity level has gone up so much this season," Ross said."It feels like he's just gotten to be that due you expect to dominate every time out because of the way he's grown.
