Miguel Rojas admitted being bothered by recent criticism from former teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr., saying 'you don't even know me' and implying that the Marlins star should 'respect everybody' in the clubhouse.
Rojas and Chisholm were Marlins teammates for parts of three seasons from 2020 to 2022, which were Chisholm's first three years in the major leagues. During an appearance on"The Pivot" podcast, Chisholm referred to that period as the"worst three years of probably my life" and took multiple shots at an unidentified team"captain," an apparent reference to Rojas, who was the Marlins' captain at the time.
"Whatever you want to say about me as a player, you can have that opinion," Rojas said."But you saying that I'm a bad person when you don't even know me, that's kind of what bothers me." "I'm not expecting everybody to like me, and I don't like everybody," Rojas said."But that doesn't mean that I can go out there and tell everybody what's happening in the clubhouse. As a professional, you have to understand that you have to respect everybody that is in that clubhouse. ... When you come to a place and you get to a new place, there are people there that have been there before you. There's rules in place, and someone is gonna keep you accountable.
Rojas, entering his second season with the Dodgers, is a .257 career hitter over parts of 10 seasons in the majors. He began last season as the Dodgers' starting shortstop and is slated to be a utility infielder off Los Angeles' bench this year.
