"They're not a good captain, they're not a good person, you're not even a good athlete at this point. You're just here and you're bringing down the young guys that are supposed to be good." Chisholm's harsh criticism of Rojas during a podcast highlights a perception of Rojas as a detrimental presence in the locker room. This statement underscores the tension that developed between the former teammates when Chisholm felt Rojas was not fulfilling a leadership role effectively.
"Baseball always puts everything in its place," an El Lineup post recounted Chisholm's comments from this spring after Rojas won the championship with the Dodgers. This reflects the idea that Rojas's success on the field serves as a response to Chisholm's earlier denouncement, showcasing the eventual validation of Rojas's capabilities as a player and leader post his detractor's remarks.
"The glue to our ballclub," said Dave Roberts, referring to Rojas during the Dodgers' championship celebration. This acknowledgment emphasizes Rojas's role as a leader and essential team member, contrasting sharply with Chisholm's criticism and highlighting how vital Rojas has been to the Dodgers' success.
"Whatever you want to say about me as a player, you can have that opinion," Rojas stated during a podcast appearance, addressing the fallout from Chisholm's remarks. This expresses Rojas's resilience and determination to rise above negative opinions while maintaining focus on his performance and contributions to the team.
