This is difficult. I agree that this law is ridiculous, and that it will greatly affect MLB, and although some baseball teams/players are joining together to boycott the All-Star game, the MLB organization is not an innocent bystander on this issue and the All-Star game will happen.

It's important to remember two things: 1. The MLB has a huge stake and will be greatly effected by this law. They pour money into South American countries creating baseball camps to help develop young baseball stars. But they don't do this out of the goodness of their heart: it's a cheap way of producing amazing players. They can afford to pay a guy $2,000 and if he doesn't make it past the minors, it's not big chunk out of their wallets. You'd think because of this that they would push for a retraction of this law, but: 2. Bud Selig is a Republican. Good luck getting him to disagree with the law. It won't happen.
