"He didn't mistype my name. He did it with all the intention to put my name and the organization's name on that tweet. You don't even know how Andrew Friedman felt after these accusations that, for six minutes, rumbled my whole world and got so many people around me and around us, the team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, worried, because one guy 'made a mistake.'"
"I'm not asking for an apology for me, but he mentioned the Los Angeles Dodgers organization as well, and I really respect that. I don't want the people involved with the organization to have to deal with something like that when it didn't even happen."
"I'm totally OK with making mistakes, but at the end of the day, I was expecting an apology. I'm not active on social media, so he expected the reporter to reach out to the team or to him directly to apologize. That hasn't happened, though."
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas addressed a significant error by The Athletic's Evan Drellich, who incorrectly identified Rojas as receiving an 80-game suspension for PED use. Rojas clarified this was not a simple typo but an intentional inclusion of both his name and the Dodgers organization in the tweet. He expressed frustration that the reporter has not apologized directly to him or the team, despite the serious damage caused. Rojas emphasized that the false accusation affected not only him personally but also team leadership and the entire organization. He stated he expects accountability from the reporter and believes an apology is warranted, particularly given the Dodgers' involvement in the erroneous report.
