NEW YORK (AP) Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano has asked Jose Bautista, Prince Fielder and Mark Trumbo to join him on the AL side for the All-Star home run derby. Cano announced the invitations Monday, a day after rosters were announced for the All-Star game July 10 in Kansas City. Rumors swirled on Monday that Cano would select the Royals’ Billy Butler, but the hometown faithful will have to find another favorite.
Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp said Sunday he invited Carlos Beltran, Carlos Gonzalez and Giancarlo Stanton to join him on the NL side. Kemp is on the disabled list because of a strained left hamstring. He is unlikely to play in the game, but is the NL captain for the derby and wants to take part.
