"I'm not frustrated because of the report, because we are all humans and we make mistakes. I was expecting a little bit more of an apology, not just to me, but the organization. Because it wasn't just my name, it was pretty clear that it says, 'Miguel Rojas from the Los Angeles Dodgers.'"
"It wasn't just my name, it was the organization that I represent too, and that's really important to me. So that's the only thing that I'm kind of bothered [by]."
"To Miguel Rojas and the Dodgers, I sincerely and publicly apologize. I've reached out to Miguel, the Dodgers and Miguel's agent to say the same. Once again, I'm sorry."
A senior baseball writer at The Athletic mistakenly identified Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas as the recipient of an 80-game suspension for banned substance use, when it was actually Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas who tested positive for Boldenone. The writer quickly deleted and corrected the post. Rojas expressed understanding about human error but felt the initial correction was insufficient, emphasizing that the mistake affected not just his name but the entire Dodgers organization. He stressed the importance of a proper apology to both himself and the team he represents. The journalist subsequently issued a public apology to Rojas and the Dodgers.
