With the MLB Opening Day now within touching distance, it seems some heated rivalry has now sparked off between two former teammates. Los Angeles Dodgers’ star Miguel Rojas has blasted Jazz Chisholm Jr. for his comments regarding the Miami Marlins’ locker room atmosphere.
In an appearance at The Pivot podcast, Jazz Chisholm Jr. would go on a fiery rant against the former leaders and veterans of the Miami Marlins. He would claim there was a lack of leadership in the Marlins’ clubhouse.
While Chisholm Jr. did not name any specific person, many believed this was an attack on Rojas. The 35-year-old was described as a leader during his eight-year stint with the Marlins. So, he was unhappy with the words of the Marlins’ second baseman.
Rojas would recently appear at the Chris Rose Rotation podcast. In this appearance he would slam his former teammate and claimed that he will have to learn to respect his veterans.
As a professional, you have to understand that you have to respect everybody that is in that clubhouse... There's rules in place, and someone is gonna keep you accountable.
