    MLB Legend Omar Vizquel: Astros 'Have A Legitimate Chance' For Postseason

    Former MLB shortstop and 11-time Golden Glove winner Omar Vizquel joins Next Up to discuss Major League Baseball's All-Star Game voting update that has second baseman Jose Altuve, outfielder Kyle Tucker and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez among the positional leaders in the American League.

    Vizquel, who was named to three All-Star teams during his 24-year career, says it's "a tremendous honor" to make an All-Star game. Veteran players might look forward to the break in the season, but as a younger guy, "you really want to be there," Vizquel said.

    The Astros will face the Chicago White Sox for a three-game road series starting Tuesday, currently sitting nine games back from the lead in the AL West. "You have to believe that the Astros have a legitimate chance" to make the postseason, but manager Joe Espada "has to really show up for the team" and be a strong presence in the clubhouse.
