MLB announced the 2025 All-Star Game reserves today and three more Mariners have been selected, giving them a grand total of four players elected to the Midsummer Classic in Atlanta so far. That ties them with the Tigers for the most in the AL; only the Dodgers have more with five. This is the first time the Mariners have sent four players to the All-Star Game since 2018, and the first time they’ve sent four All-Stars who are all age 28 or younger.

Catcher Cal Raleigh, who earned the first starting selection for a Mariner since Nelson Cruz in 2015, will be joined by a trio of reserves: center fielder Julio Rodríguez, earning the honor for the third time in his young career; closer Andrés Muñoz, earning his second All-Star appearance; and starter Bryan Woo, who will go to the All-Star Game for the first time.

“It’s really cool that Cal will have company,” said manager Dan Wilson. “Having teammates there really makes it all the more special to be a part of that experience.”

The Mariners selections feature their closer and the up-the-middle trio of their catcher, center fielder, and a starting pitcher. With Woo’s selection, every member of the Mariners’ projected starting rotation except the currently-injured Bryce Miller has earned an All-Star nod. This is the third consecutive time the Mariners have had a starting pitcher named an All-Star since 2023.

“What’s special about it, and we talk about it a lot, how they as a group push each other, hold each other accountable, and they help each other improve,” said Wilson. “So I think it’s no mystery that this is the fourth that has been a part of that group.”

“I feel like it says a lot about what we’re doing here and the consistency behind it,” said Woo, speaking to the media postgame. “Anybody can have one good year, but the fact that we’ve got guys in it every year speaks volumes to what we’re able to do consistently here.”

In addition to the way they help each other learn, Woo also noted how each pitcher has found success in a different way: Luis Castillo “setting the standard and being the Rock”; George Kirby “doing it so quickly and so effortlessly”; and Logan Gilbert doing it his own way while being very “cerebral” about his process. “And I know Bryce is going to be right there as well.”

Woo has already promised his rotation-mates that he’ll bring back intel from the meeting of the pitching minds that is the All-Star Game, especially for Miller and Gilbert. “I’m going to be there, notepad and pen, asking everybody questions,” he said. “I’m just going to try to go and soak up as much of it as I can.”

On the relief side, Muñoz is just the second Mariners reliever to be selected multiple times to an All-Star Game while with Seattle, joining Kazuhiro Sasaki, was elected in back-to-back years (2001-2002). He’s just the fourth Mexican-born pitcher to make multiple All-Star games, tying Joakim Soria and Esteben Loaiza with two (only Fernando Valenzuela has more, with six).

“I’m really proud of being Mexican, and being there representing Mexico means a lot too. It makes me very excited that Mexico’s name is in the All-Star Game.”

Muñoz was available pregame to take questions from the media, including the most important one: will his cat Matilda be accompanying him to Atlanta?

“Of course,” he said.

How about a red carpet appearance for Matilda?

“I would…try,” he said carefully. “Probably she’s going to get mad. But of course she is going, she goes with me everywhere.”
