What happened: The Miami Marlins posted an All-Star voting appeal for infielder Otto Lopez, sharing the official ballot link alongside a "That's the dream" message. The club's push echoes a fan-led campaign urging Marlins supporters to send Lopez to the Midsummer Classic. It is part of the team's broader "Fightin' Fish" All-Star voting drive now that balloting is open.

Why it matters: An All-Star nod would be a marquee recognition for a young Marlins core that has leaned on Lopez as an everyday contributor. Fan-voting campaigns like this also drive engagement for a rebuilding club looking to raise its national profile. Getting a position player onto the ballot conversation signals Miami's belief that its homegrown talent belongs among the league's best.

What to watch: Watch whether Lopez gains traction in subsequent All-Star vote updates and whether Miami's campaign lifts him into the finalist round before voting closes.
