“Now I Hate Him…”- David ‘Big Papi’ Ortiz Opens Up on His Current Relationship With Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the most recognizable faces in MLB. Despite retiring in 2016, the former Yankees star has built up a tremendous following through his business dealings and his reinvention as a business mogul. And with his newest foray into the media industry, he has only seen his footprint on the industry grow.

He recently bought a fun guest onto his new show. The newest Hall of Fame inductee David ‘Big Papi’ Ortiz; and he had some thoughts on A-Rod and interacting every day.

Alex Rodriguez wasn’t what you would call a widely adored player in MLB. And while his eccentricities were ever-present in his playing career, they seem to have carried through post his retirement.

Starting a podcast with baseball sportscaster, Michael Kay, called ‘Kay-Rod’, the player will now appear on almost a daily basis to talk about the game we love. And hosting David Ortiz, they’ve already given us a heck of a sound byte. Is this just a taste of what to expect?

David Ortiz appears on the show with Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez

The former Boston Red Sox star took on the appearance with a smile, joking all the way. Said Ortiz, “I always love Alex. He has always been in my corner.” 

Ortiz tested out the two podcast hosts as he went on. Said Big Papi, “Now I hate him more than when I was away from him because now I gotta put up with him every day.”

In a new role as a sportscaster now, it seems as though A-Rod, David Ortiz, and Michael Kay will be interacting an awful lot; and the chemistry here certainly seems to be popping. With all three of them enjoying a good laugh at a clip of David Ortiz in a cart being pushed by A-Rod, David Ortiz has something to say.

“I gotta be wheeled out every day now,” he added. And with the podcast already hosting an outside perspective from Michael Kay, A-Rod and David Ortiz will only add to the show. Moreover, the two former MLB stars will only add the players’ perspectives to any discussion.
