The Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot was unveiled on Monday, and the nine Blue Jays who are candidates for the 2017 MLB All-Star Game presented by MasterCard are a mix of franchise cornerstones and new faces.
Right fielder Jose Bautista -- the longtime face of the franchise who was an All-Star with Toronto six consecutive years from 2010-15 -- is once again on the ballot for the Midsummer Classic in Miami. So is superstar third baseman Josh Donaldson, who has been an All-Star in both of his first two seasons as a Blue Jay, including his 2015 American League MVP campaign.

Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will be seeking a sixth career All-Star nod, but has yet to earn one with Toronto, while catcher Russell Martin could make his fifth career All-Star Game, and second with the Blue Jays. Center fielder Kevin Pillar will be looking to make the Midsummer Classic for the first time.
Two of the key additions to the 2017 Blue Jays -- designated hitter Kendrys Morales and left fielder Steve Pearce -- are also on the ballot looking to make an All-Star team for the first time in their careers.
First baseman Justin Smoak and second baseman Devon Travis round out the Blue Jays on the ballot. Both have yet to make an All-Star team.
