Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas responds to Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm’s hateful remarks

The Los Angeles Dodgers currently hold a 3-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series.

Game 4 is Tuesday night, and the Dodgers are one win away from taking home their second World Series title in five years.

As the teams continue to compete on the field, a big story that emerged at the beginning of this season has resurfaced with a player on each team.

At the beginning of this season, then-Miami Marlins All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. some harsh words for his former teammate, now Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas.

In a performance at The Pivot Podcastcalled Chisholm the Marlins’ “team captain” for not only being a bad team captain, but a bad person.

“I was already a team leader without being called a team leader. But the vets, you can’t be a team leader when you have guys in the clubhouse who have been in there for 9-10 years, even if they stink, they’ve been there for 9- 10 years and the team calls them the team captain,” Chisholm said.

“But like, they’re not a good captain, they’re not a good person, you’re not even a good athlete at this point. You’re right here. And you’re knocking over the young guys who are supposed to be good.”

Rojas responded to these comments back in March on Chris Rose Rotation. He was understandably upset.

“When you cross a line and say I’m not a good person and I’m just there because, I think he thinks I’m telling someone I’m going to be there and keep me here so I can be a Major League Baseball player for 10 years, that’s what bothers me,” Rojas said.

Now, with Chisholm on the Yankees and the teams facing off in the World Series, Rojas was again asked about these comments in one interview with the New York Post.

This time, Rojas was clearly ready to move on.

“I don’t really pay attention to people’s opinions, other than people I really care about,” Rojas told The Post. “I can’t really tell you anything about his opinions because I don’t take his opinions as he spoke.”

Rojas added: “I feel like I know my value. And I know what I bring to a team. Nobody needs to reinforce that.”

Asked about the incident before the World Series began, Chisholm said the former teammates hadn’t spoken since their Miami days.

“Like I said, I have nothing on that,” Chisholm said. “I go out there, I play baseball and I enjoy baseball. Nothing more, nothing less.”

The Yankees and Dodgers play Tuesday night in what could be the final game of the 2024 MLB season.
