The Seattle Mariners and T-Mobile Park will host the All-Star festivities next year.
Now that we all enjoyed a cool Home Run Derby with 81 dingers by finalist Julio Rodriguez, and a close All-Star Game that resulted in the American League’s ninth consecutive win, it’s time to focus on the second half of the season.
However, we can take a minute to think about the 2023 All-Star Game because, why not?
Rodriguez, already the Mariners’ best player after skipping Triple-A altogether, had in his hands the logo for next year’s All-Star Game and festivities.
He won’t show it to us all… yet.
The day will be Friday.

The 2023 All-Star Logo Will Be Revealed On Friday
The budding star helped hype up the announcement a bit in a recent video posted by the Mariners on Twitter.
He is seen discussing elements that the logo should have, like the Space Needle, and some navy blue.
It looks like the logo will look a lot like the M’s logo, as it should.
It’s an exciting time to be a Mariners fan: the team has won 14 games in a row, reaching the Houston Astros in the standings is plausible (albeit awfully difficult), and this is looking like the season in which their long playoff drought will end.
They are 51-42 after a rocky start, Robbie Ray is finally pitching like his Cy Young-winning version, and Rodriguez is one of the game’s brightest young stars.
They have a strong farm system, some impressive young pitchers, and they have a shot at landing superstar outfielder Juan Soto should he be made available in trade talks in the following days.
Good times to root for the Mariners.
