I've read several stories about how privately, off the record, the guys in MLB are just loving this. Sure, they'll probably fix it next year and figure out a way to keep this from happening again, maybe by giving the fans vote a 50% weight against other factors, but in 2015 they have no intention whatsoever to step in and interfere with the all-star vote because they are getting unbelievable coverage and publicity for their all-star game right when the NBA and NHL finals were going on and they normally have to take a back seat in the national conversation and attention.
