Do you believe fan voting should carry equal weight to expert panels in choosing All-MLB teams?

Rafael Devers has been named as the San Francisco Giants' sole nominee for the 2026 All-MLB Team. The selection follows a season where Devers served as a key offensive contributor before his year was cut short by a core injury.

Why it matters

The nomination highlights a standout individual performance despite the team missing the playoffs, with the final roster decided by an equal split of fan and expert panel voting. Whether Devers earns the league-wide honor remains dependent on the results of the ongoing fan ballot.

Devers finished his 2026 campaign with 37 home runs, 98 RBI, and 36 doubles. His selection for the All-MLB Team hinges on a process where fan voting and panelist votes each count for 50% of the total tally.
