Sal Licata is passionately boycotting the MLB All-Star Game due to the shocking exclusion of Juan Soto from the roster. He expresses extreme frustration with the decision, calling it "idiocy" and a missed opportunity for Major League Baseball to market its biggest stars and grow the game. Licata emphasizes that Soto, despite any "bubble" status earlier in the season, is undeniably one of the best players in baseball and should have been an All-Star, regardless of fan voting or player selections. He's so committed to his boycott that he even refused to watch the Home Run Derby.
