Jeff Samardzija Will Wear NL Jersey in the AL Dugout at the All-Star Game
Recently traded pitcher Jeff Samardzija will be forced to wear an NL jersey at the All-Star Game next week. After being dealt from the Cubs to the A’s one day before all-star rosters were announced, the dominating pitcher was left in a pickle.

He is set to become a free agent following the 2015 season and Chicago is looking more towards the future.
