The Rude Remarks Made By Doug Mientkiewicz Has Left Alex Rodriguez Surprised: “wish everyone well and you move on”
Alex Rodriguez was the target of a diatribe from Mientkiewicz during a recent visit on the “Foul Territory” podcast with A.J. Pierzynski and Scott Braun. He criticized A-Rod for using steroids and even made personal attacks on him.
Rodriguez’s usage of performance-enhancing substances led to his infamous season-long suspension in 2014. Mientkiewicz took offence to it, too.
In 2007, Doug Mientkiewicz played for the New York Yankees. He shared the field with two legendary players from the contemporary MLB era, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Doug had a deep appreciation for Jeter and had just given Jeter high accolades. Doug, however, has some unfavourable opinions to express on Rodriguez, a Yankees teammate and old high school classmate.
