Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas jokingly called teammate and pitcher Blake Snell the 'weakest' guy in Dodgers spring training camp, but later apologized in a hilarious video after Snell pushed back on the remark. The two players were clearly just goofing around as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

Why it matters

The lighthearted exchange between Rojas and Snell highlights the fun and camaraderie among the Dodgers players as they get ready for the new season. Banter and playful jabs are common in baseball clubhouses, and this incident shows the Dodgers are in a relaxed, positive mood heading into spring training.

The details

Rojas initially said Snell was the guy he thought could do the fewest push-ups in the Dodgers clubhouse. Snell responded by saying Rojas' comment about him being the 'weakest' was 'crazy.' This prompted Rojas to post an apology video, where he said he let his 'emotions take over' and shouldn't have said that about Snell. Snell then interrupted the video, jokingly claiming he was benching 100 pounds and squatting 600 pounds, calling Rojas out for underestimating his strength.

  • The exchange took place in February 2026, as the Dodgers were preparing for the start of spring training.

“Cut, cut, cut. You gotta tell them I was benching 100 pounds in there. Today. Squatting, tell them I was squatting 600. He squat more than Shohei. And the deadlift. You guys gotta see the deadlift. This guy's a beast. I don't know about the push-ups, but this guy is one of the strongest in camp.”

— Blake Snell (Los Angeles Dodgers)
