Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Mariano Rivera Named To Sporting News All-Star Team

Three New York Yankees were selected to the Sporting News' AL All-Star Team, voted on by 55 major league executives.

Center fielder Curtis Granderson, second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Mariano Rivera were all voted as starters for their contributions to New York's 97-win season.

Granderson batted .262 with 25 stolen bases, 41 home runs and 119 RBI, compiling a career-high .916 OPS. Cano hit .302 with 28 home runs and a career-high 118 RBI. Rivera saved 44 games and gave up just 13 earned runs all season to finish with his fourth consecutive sub-2.00 ERA (1.91).

Cano wants to terminate the two team options remaining on his contract in order to restructure a long-term deal with the Yankees, but his agent Scott Boras said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman "hasn't returned the call."

Justin Verlander was the only unanimous choice for the Sporting News' All-Star Teams. The entire rosters follow:
