Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was one of the most egregious All-Star Game snubs in the majors this year. The 26-year-old, who leads A.L. shortstops in OPS and doubles entering Tuesday, ranked fifth in the fan voting at the shortstop position before not being chosen as a reserve over the weekend.

Bogaerts said he believes everyone in baseball knows he was snubbed.

“I think everyone knows it,” he told reporters in Toronto. “I can’t change those results right now. It is what it is.”

Bogaerts has made the All-Star team in just one of his seven big-league seasons, being chosen to start at shortstop for the A.L. in 2016. He felt he was snubbed last season and believes he’s “penalized every year” by the rule that requires each team to have at least one representative.

“I don’t know, man. I don’t,” Bogaerts said. “I don’t buy into all that type of stuff. I don’t know what they should do or what they shouldn’t do. Whoever deserves to go, should go. That’s the only thing.”

Bogaerts wasn’t aware of the support shown by Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, who tweeted that both Bogaerts and Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres should have made the team. Once told about Correa’s tweet, Bogaerts said he appreciated the support.

“Real recognize real,” Bogaerts said. “He’s a shortstop and came up pretty much the same time I did. I think number-wise, guys know what should have happened.”

Bogaerts was one of a few players on Boston’s roster who didn’t make the team despite making a case with their first-half performance. The shortstop believes third baseman Rafael Devers was snubbed as well.

“He should be also one of the guys going there,” Bogaerts said. “I don’t know if it has to do with how we’re playing. I don’t know, man. It wasn’t right but we’ve got to move on.”

Only two Red Sox players-- designated hitter J.D. Martinez and outfielder Mookie Betts-- will join manager Alex Cora and his coaching staff in Cleveland next week. Cora believes Bogaerts, Devers, catcher Christian Vazquez and reliever Brandon Workman all deserved to make the team.

“Very surprised. Very disappointed,” Cora said. “(Bogaerts) one of the best players in the big leagues. Let’s forget about the position. He’s one of the best this season, he has been doing an outstanding job and it’s sad he’s not there. There’s three others too that we thought were having All-Star caliber seasons and as of now, they’re not in it. Raffy, Christian and Work. They’ve been amazing for us.”
