Ohtani and Judge did not participate in the MLB All-Star Game swing-off because they were no longer at the ballpark, according to reports. Both players had pre-arranged plans to leave Truist Park for private flights once they were pulled from the game, an annual trend for many All-Stars who typically have.

Aaron Judge had plenty of praise for Shohei Ohtani, but made clear he and the Yankees want a shot at revenge for the 2024 World Series.
