Los Angeles Dodgers fans react to Miguel Rojas withdrawing from World Baseball Classic: "Sucks for Rojas, but it makes the most sense for the team"

Miguel Rojas has announced that he will be withdrawing from the World Baseball Classic. The veteran infielder was set to play for Team Venezuela, with the tournament starting on March 8.Instead, Rojas has shifted his focus to putting in more work at shortstop and getting everyday at-bats in spring training. He's now the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting shortstop, with Gavin Lux being out for the season with a torn ACL. It was a mutual decision between Rojas and the Dodgers.Jack Harris@Jack_A_HarrisMiguel Rojas just announced he is planning to withdraw from the WBCIt was a mutual decision between him and the Dodgers, now that he is their starting shortstop in the wake of Gavin Lux’s injury19231Miguel Rojas just announced he is planning to withdraw from the WBCIt was a mutual decision between him and the Dodgers, now that he is their starting shortstop in the wake of Gavin Lux’s injuryRojas was going to come off the bench for Team Venezuela. It was a smart move for somebody who wasn't expecting to be the team's everyday shortstop in 2023.If he were to get hurt in the World Baseball Classic, he'd be putting the Dodgers in a tough spot. While it is disappointing that he won't get to represent his home country, this decision makes sense for both sides.&quot;Sucks for Rojas, but it makes the most sense for the team.
