Former Miami Marlins teammates, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Miguel Rojas, are embroiled in a feud that escalated during spring training. Chisholm, now with the Diamondbacks, publicly criticized Rojas, labeling him “not a good person” and questioning his leadership and athleticism. Rojas, however, remains unfazed by the remarks.
“I don’t really pay much attention to people’s opinions,” Rojas told The Post, now a key member of the World Series-bound Dodgers. “I know my value, and I know what I bring to a team.”
The conflict between the two players stems from their differing personalities and approaches to the game. Chisholm, a flashy, energetic player, is seen as representing a new generation of baseball, while Rojas, a more traditional, team-first player, represents the older generation.
Sources in Miami suggest Rojas attempted to reign in Chisholm’s flamboyant style, particularly when the team was struggling. Chisholm, however, felt Rojas went too far, implying the veteran shortstop negatively impacted his Miami experience.
Despite the tension, Rojas seems to have thrived in the Dodgers’ team-oriented environment. “There’s no egos in the locker room,” he stated, praising the collaborative spirit.
While Chisholm’s comments have caused a stir, Rojas appears unfazed by the controversy, focusing instead on his contributions to the Dodgers’ championship aspirations. His recent groin injury, however, could impact his role in the World Series.
