Andy Pages Named NL All‑Star Starter After Game‑Winning Night

His breakout season now puts him on track for a major raise while ongoing MLB labor talks could change how and when that pay arrives.

Overview

  • Pages earned the National League outfield start in Phase 2 fan voting on Sunday after he and Michael Harris II each had 16 percent of the vote but Pages received a higher total vote count.
  • He delivered the decisive run the same day with a one‑out RBI single in the third inning that proved to be the winning hit in the Dodgers’ 3–0 victory over the Padres.
  • Pages has produced 92 hits in 88 games with 16 home runs this season, a pace that projects to roughly 170 hits and ranks him among the Dodgers’ top offensive contributors.
  • He tried to notify family in Mantua, Cuba about the All‑Star selection but WhatsApp messages showed as undelivered because of reported nationwide communication problems, and his wife Alondra relayed the news instead.
  • Pages is playing on a one‑year, $800,000 contract and will be arbitration‑eligible in 2027 so the outcome of MLB’s upcoming labor negotiations, including proposals that could alter pay structures, may materially affect his next deal.
