Jose Ramirez remains a mainstay in the starting lineup for the American League. Ramirez was announced as an All-Star Game starter, as revealed on a live July 2 ESPN broadcast. He was a finalist at third base along with the Red Sox 's Alex Bregman.

When pressed on what aspect of his game, exactly, he isn’t satisfied with, Ramírez replied: “Todo. Todo. Todo. Todo.” That translates to “all,” or in this case, “everything,” and his insistence on repeating the word conveys the disappointment of a potential Hall of Famer who holds himself to a high standard.
