This question came to my mind today while thinking about the CC Sabathia trade. What if he had been voted onto the AL All Star team and then traded to the Brewers?
I have been searching Google for the past half hour trying to find the answer with no luck.
I wouldn’t think that the player would represent his new club in the Midsummer Classic, but he also probably would not play for his new league. The logical answer would be that the player in question would not be a member of either squad, but this also seems unfair. What if this was the first all star selection for this individual? Would he miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime because of a trade?
This may have already happened and I am unaware of it. If anyone knows the answer, please reply to this post so I can ease my curiosity.
