What was your issue with Soto's comments last night about the All-Star games?

0:04.7

I almost forgot about that.

0:07.0

I thought I missed the mark.

Not where you're like, oh, this guy's what a jerk.

0:14.4

I'm not saying that.

0:15.8

But what he said, for those of you who may have missed it,
