When the 2021 All-Star Game rolls around, two players we thought that would be ready to make some plays won't be suiting up: Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros.
It's been revealed this week that the two indeed have decided to skip out on things. With Altuve, he said his reason is because he's focused on helping the team win the World Series.

Altuve really didn't hold back. As much as he hates disappointing the fans who wanted to see him play, he's putting his team first. Should the Astros win the World Series, this move will prove to be brilliant.
