“To Miguel Rojas and the Dodgers, I sincerely and publicly apologize,” Evan Drellich of The Athletic wrote March 18 on X. “I’ve reached out to Miguel, the Dodgers and Miguel’s agent to say the same. Once again, I’m sorry.”
The apology comes two days after Drellich posted, then deleted, that Rojas would be suspended by Major League Baseball for violating the league’s PED policy.
In an interview with Chris Rose published earlier in the day, Rojas shared his honest feelings about being misidentified in the false report.
“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,” Rojas told Rose. “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 totally OK with making mistakes, but at the end of the day, I was expecting an apology.”
Johan Rojas of the Philadelphia Phillies was first reported to have failed a PED test in February.
