Miguel Rojas on Jazz Chisholm criticism - 'You don't even know me' - ESPN

Miguel Rojas admitted being bothered by recent criticism from former teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr., saying «you don't even know me» and implying that the Miami Marlins star should «respect everybody» in the clubhouse.

Rojas, in an appearance Tuesday on «The Chris Rose Rotation» podcast, responded to explosive comments that Chisholm made on a different podcast last week.

Rojas and Chisholm were Marlins teammates for parts of three seasons from 2020 to 2022, which were Chisholm's first three years in the major leagues.

«You can't be a team leader when you've got guys that's been in the clubhouse that's been in there nine or 10 years even though they suck,» Chisholm said. «They've been there for nine or 10 years and the team calls them the team captain. But 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.»

Rojas spent parts of eight seasons with the Marlins before being traded last year to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran infielder said Tuesday that Chisholm is «entitled» to his opinion of his playing abilities but bristled at the apparent attack on his character.

Rojas also disapproved of Chisholm disclosing information that he said should have
