The 2023 MLB season has been fun to watch because of the competition. Many teams have played really well but many have languished near the bottom of the league. But even after all the differences, no one can neglect the contributions of players to the success of each team. Whether it’s Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Mike Trout of the Angels, or Bryce Harper of the Phillies, they all need recognition for their work.
But according to a recent list, all three players are not the best to build a team around. And it has left them all from the acknowledgment of the best in the league. Given fans adore all these players, they were unhappy with the list that neglected their favorite. While sharing their disappointment, fans reacted strongly against the esteemed list.
It has only been a month since the 2023 All-Star game took place. It was a historic affair after the National League won the game after a decade. But it wasn’t only the end, the buildup to this game was exciting, too. Many players were in the line to have a spot in the playing eleven, and Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Aaron Judge made it to the final list without failure.

And because of it, everyone expected them to make it to the list of top players in the future too. But that is not the case. Both Trout and Judge have been left out of the list of best baseball players shared by B/R Walk-Off. They released it on X, formerly Twitter, with a mention of MLB columnist Joel Reuter.
They captioned it as “We ranked the best players in baseball to build around.” Notably, the list includes the top nine players around which team a team can be built. The list contained the names of fan-favorite Shohei Ohtani and “Fastest Man In the World”, Elly De La Cruz. But the removal of players amounting to $1.1 billion in contracts failed to satisfy fans.
Fans Criticize the Major Miss of Their Favorite Stars
When it comes to favorite teams and players, fans become very emotional. They don’t like anything which is against their liking and call out it in the open.
And when the same list made the same mistake, fans were not happy. They criticized them for missing out on their favorite players. And also called out the criteria on which they selected others over the likes of Judge, Harper, and more.

Fans asked why some other star players were not included.
Not having Harper or Judge here is odd

Not having Tatis is wild
