Official 2017 MLB Home-Run Derby/All-Star Game Thread

[ineedsleep212]

Major League Baseball's All-Star festivities will begin Sunday at Marlins Park in Miami and run through Tuesday, when the National League and American League duke it out in the 88th Midsummer Classic.

Unlike years past, the 2017 edition of the MLB All-Star Game won't determine home-field advantage for the World Series, based on the terms of the league's updated collective bargaining agreement.

Instead, players will be fueled by new monetary incentives.

According to the Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin, every player on the winning side in this year's All-Star Game will receive a $20,000 bonus.

But before the interleague clash gets underway, fans will be able to enjoy a host of other spectacles—including MLB's annual Futures Game, Celebrity Softball Game and Home Run Derby.

Always respected Pitbull because he's doing this for the $$$. He can spit bars if he wanted to.
