LosAngeles — As the Los Angeles Dodgers lifted the MLB2025 championship trophy, Alex Vesia – the ace relief pitcher who didn’t play in the finals – sent an emotional message to fans, teammates, and family. Not through a video or an official statement, but through intimate sharing on social media, Vesia expressed his pride, and at the same time called for sympathy from fans:
“Even though I wasn’t on the field, I felt every step of the team’s victory. Please stop the criticism… I’m still a part of this journey.”
Vesia’s absence from the finals was confirmed to be due to a very private personal and family matter. Throughout the 2025 season, he demonstrated his outstanding ability in the bullpen, helping the Dodgers maintain their momentum and prepare for the championship race. Many fans felt disappointed that he could not be on the field during historic moments, but Vesia knew how to connect and reassure them with his sincere sharing.
Via social media, Vesia wrote:
“I saw my brothers bring the trophy home. Thank you for standing with the team. I understand some criticism has been raised, but please remember — I am still here, with you, with the team. I promise to come back stronger.”
He emphasized that this victory belongs not only to those standing on the field, but also to everyone who accompanied him: his teammates, the team staff, and especially the fans who always believed and cheered despite the tense moments and rumors surrounding his absence.
Some fans have expressed concerns and criticism about Vesia’s absence. He understands that, but emphasizes that everyone should look at the big picture: “Everyone has their own reasons for taking a step back. I believe that when we look back, I never left the team – my heart is with the Dodgers.”
At the same time, he also sent sincere congratulations to the entire team: “Congratulations to the guys, congratulations to the entire Dodgers organization. I am proud to be a part of this team, even in my own corner. We did an incredible job.”
Vesia closed his share with a promise to the fans:
“Next year, I will come back stronger. I will contribute more to this team. Let’s build spirit and trust together. Let’s stop criticizing, and give each other the support we deserve.”
In baseball, winning or losing is just a moment. But in the hearts of fans and players like Vesia, connection, loyalty, and teamwork are the real victories. Alex Vesia proved that even when he wasn’t on the field on Finals Day, his heart was with the Dodgers celebrating, and his message – heartfelt and heartfelt – will resonate with fans long after.
