Miami Marlins star Jazz Chisholm eviscerated one of his former teammates and the team's clubhouse during his first few years with the team.
Chisholm said a "team captain," whom many believe to be Miguel Rojas, was "not a good person…bringing down the young guys who are supposed to be good."
The comments went viral, and Rojas, now a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, caught wind of them.

"Everybody's entitled to have their own opinion," Rojas said on "The Chris Rose Rotation."
"Whatever you have to say about me as a player, you can have that opinion. But you saying that I'm a bad person when you don't even know me, that's kinda what bothers me.
"I'm not expecting everybody to like me, and I don't like everybody, but that doesn't mean that I can go out there and tell everybody what's happening in the clubhouse," Rojas continued. "As a professional, you have to understand that you have to respect everybody that is in that clubhouse. When you come to a place and you get to a new place, there are people there that have been there before you. There's rules in place, and someone is gonna keep you accountable."
