In a surprising twist, the wife of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kayla Vesia is speaking out against the backlash from fans following her husband’s absence from the 2025 World Series. According to inside sources who spoke to the press, Kayla decided to “come out” to put an end to the gossip and said that family is bigger than the field right now.
“Baseball is his job. But the decision to skip the game wasn’t about the field, it was about our family,” – an inside quote from Kayla, who reportedly felt “caught in the eye” of the criticism at the same time as her husband.
Alex Vesia was removed from the World Series roster after reportedly “taking a very personal family matter.”
The announcement immediately sparked a flurry of speculation from fans and the media – from family issues to something more serious – and also led to criticism of Vesia for “abandoning the team” at the most crucial time.
Many viewed his absence with suspicion, questioning whether he was committed enough to the team at such a crucial time. Meanwhile, Kayla, according to sources, has repeatedly witnessed her husband endure pressure from both fans and the media – something the family cannot simply ignore.
According to an inside source, Kayla sent a strong message: “It’s time for me to speak for our little family. People may love baseball, or they may hate the decisions. But don’t forget: behind every pitch, every win, every save… is a human being, a wife waiting, and a father to come.”
According to public records, Kayla and Alex announced the pregnancy of their first child, a daughter, in April 2025.
The moment of preparing to become parents is said to have been a milestone that made them reset their priorities: “There’s a big stage ahead of them – but family is the real part, they’ll always be there no matter what baseball does.”
Kayla emphasized that while baseball has a schedule, discipline, and prestige, family has no schedule, no fans, no playoffs. “When the fans are quiet, when the lights go out, the family is still awake, still waiting, still needed. And at this moment, the family – us – needed him,” Kayla shared via a source.
She also mentioned: “You can change a pitch, you can change a pitcher in the middle of a game. But you can’t change a moment with your wife, with your child before his first birthday.” This statement has caused many followers to shift from criticism to sympathy – understanding that behind every athlete is a human ecosystem much more complex than ERA or savestat.
With Alex absent from the World Series, the Dodgers were forced to restructure the bullpen and suffered a major professional loss.
Meanwhile, Vesia’s family is walking day by day with media pressure, curiosity and even fear about the real developments behind the “personal family” announcement.
Kayla – according to inside sources – sent a message to fans: “Give us time, give us space, and if possible, send your best wishes to the little family waiting for a start much bigger than baseball.”
The Dodgers also sent a message of support, saying: “This is bigger than baseball” – the statement made by president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman when the team decided to remove Vesia from the roster.
The public awaits further official information from the Vesia family about Kayla and the baby’s condition, and Alex’s decision about returning to the field or devoting all his time to his family. One thing is clear: sometimes, titles and fame have to take a backseat to love, commitment, and life — when home speaks, baseball becomes a much dimmer game.
And you know what? When the lights go down, when the stands are silent, family is still waiting — and that may be the most important competition in an athlete’s life…
