Miguel Rojas Says Drake’s Ohtani Taunts Fired Up Dodgers During World Series Win

Rojas characterizes the Instagram posts as disrespect that the clubhouse turned into motivation during Los Angeles’ seven-game triumph.

Overview

  • Rojas told TMZ the team bristled at Drake’s Instagram stories that targeted Shohei Ohtani, including a Trey Yesavage strikeout image captioned, “Savage already OTW to the dugout boss lol.”
  • The veteran infielder said the posts became bulletin-board material as Los Angeles responded after Toronto’s Game 5 win put the Blue Jays ahead 3-2.
  • The Dodgers clinched the title in Game 7, with Rojas delivering a game-tying ninth-inning home run off Jeff Hoffman before Los Angeles completed the comeback.
  • Rojas noted that Kiké Hernández echoed a Drake lyric about “Big Rings” during the victory celebration as a pointed rejoinder.
  • Drake attended games in Toronto as a visible Blue Jays supporter, coverage revived talk of a “Drake curse,” and no substantial public response from Drake or Ohtani was reported in these accounts.
