Overview
- Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas said in a TMZ Sports interview that Drake’s social-media jabs at Shohei Ohtani upset the team and did not go unnoticed.
- During the World Series, Drake shared an image of Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage striking out Ohtani with the caption, “Savage already OTW to the dugout boss lol,” a post widely circulated on Oct. 30–31.
- Los Angeles won the championship 5–4 over Toronto in Game 7, with Rojas hitting a game-tying home run in the ninth inning.
- Ohtani contributed down the stretch, going 3-for-8 with a double and two walks over the final two games, according to reported stats.
- Coverage framed the episode as having backfired on Drake and invoked the pop-culture “Drake curse” narrative tied to teams linked to his public trash talk.
