Home Run Derby 2017 Players

Earlier this week MLB announced the rosters for the 2017 All-Star Game. Well, there is still one spot in each league up for grabs. Those last two spots will be determined by the Final Vote. Here's the latest voting update.

The All-Star Game itself is only one part of the festivities. There's the Futures Game on Sunday, and, of course, the Home Run Derby on Monday. We've already told you who we'd like to see take some hacks in the Home Run Derby. On Thursday, MLB announced the eight participants:

Robinson Cano, Mariners
Adam Duvall, Reds
Todd Frazier, White Sox
Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies
Wil Myers, Padres
Corey Seager, Dodgers
Giancarlo Stanton , Miami Marlins
Mark Trumbo, Orioles

Frazier, who won last year's Home Run Derby, will indeed get a chance to defend his crown. That's a no-brainer, right? The winner should always get a chance to defend his title the following season. It should be an automatic bid. Cano has a Home Run Derby title to his credit too.
