Miguel Rojas is at the top. Although he only appeared in four postseason games en route to the Los Angeles Dodgers championship, the team chose the 35-year-old shortstop’s 2025 club option thanks, in large part, to his intangible leadership contributions to the team.

His reputation as a veteran clubhouse leader and unofficial captain dates back to his previous team, the Miami Marlins. However, one of his former Miami teammates, Jazz Chisholm Jr., has made it very clear that he doesn’t like Rojas as a player or as a person.

“You’re not a good captain, you’re not a good person,” Chisholm Jr. said of Rojas in March. “You’re not even a good athlete at this point.”

After the Dodgers beat Chisholm Jr. New York Yankees To capture his eighth World Series title, Rojas certainly got the last laugh on the field, but he took the opportunity to pitch a little more. shadow on their social networks by like and repost an instagram post that featured a tweet about the comments.

In English, the tweet says, “Baseball always puts everyone in their place,” before referencing the quote. It ends with “five months later, the Venezuelan (Rojas) won the World Series against Chisholm’s Yankees.” Just in case, Rojas added three silence emojis.

This is not the first time that Rojas responds to these comments. “Whatever you want to say about me as a player, you can have that opinion.” Rojas told ESPN when the comments were initially made. “But for you to say I’m a bad person when you don’t even know me, that’s what bothers me.”

Chisholm Jr.’s comments were clearly unprofessional. Airing locker room complaints to the press is rarely a good look, especially when attacking a player who is known for his leadership presence and mentoring young players. Rojas responded with professionalism and class.

It is clear that Rojas is very happy in Los Angeles and loved by his Dodger teammates. In September they voted him as Roy Campanella Award Winner which is the team award given to the “player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame catcher.”

Contrary to Chisholm Jr.’s claims, Rojas is definitely still a good enough player to remain on a World Series roster and popular enough to be chosen as the Dodgers’ top leader. Winning the World Series against the player who so flagrantly belittled him must be a nice little bonus for Rojas, and now he’s earned the right to gloat a little.
