A few days ago, former MLB player and 2004 World Series winner Doug Mientkiewicz made a huge comment regarding Alex Rodriguez. The ex-Yankee star claimed that Rodriguez will remain unhappy throughout his life and “die as a lonely man.” Mientkiewicz took further shots at Jorge Posada and former Yankees captain Derek Jeter for not controlling “A-Rod“.

While speaking at the “Foul Territory” podcast, Mientkiewicz expressed his displeasure while playing for the Yankees in 2007. He was left in shock when he figured out, how much power A-Rod has on upcoming stars. The duo had earlier been teammates during high school times.

Appearing at the Podcast, he vented out his frustrations at senior leaders like Jeter and Posada. He would later clown the former Yankee captain for letting A-Rod get away with the way he treated others in the clubhouse. The former MLB player recalled an incident where A-Rod forced him to carry his belongings while Jeter and others watched around.

He would make a kid carry his glove and his belt. I’m like,’ What the f***, you can’t carry your own belt? Like, what’s wrong with you? Everybody here is making $30 million, too,” Mientkiewicz said. He later turned out to Jeter and said “Shame on you for letting him get this way. You guys could have stopped this s***.”

Doug Mientkiewicz slams networks for celebrating Alex Rodriguez as an analyst despite drugs controversy

While Alex Rodriguez is no stranger to controversies, the name of Derek Jeter being revealed has raised some eyebrows. Jeter, who is considered by many as one of the best captains in baseball history, was perhaps not interested in getting between the duo. Mientkiewicz also slammed A-Rod for his usage of drugs.

A-Rod was found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). For breaking the league rules on the usage of foreign substances, he was suspended for the entire 2014 league season. Ever since then, this mistake has served as dirt on his legacy in baseball. Mientkiewicz mentions that he is not fond of broadcasters celebrating A-Rod as an analyst despite this development.

Meintkiewicz further blasted A-Rod for not staying in touch with his former high schoolmates. The former Red Sox player informed how he is still in touch with some of his friends from school. He even clarified that he still has a picture of Rodriguez sleeping at the table with a picture of the Timberwolves. It seems that A-Rod already has his eyes set on Wolves. The baseball star would later go on to purchase the basketball franchise in 2021.
