In the unpredictable world of baseball, there are rivalries that transcend, and few are as persistent and enigmatic as the one between Alex Rodriguez and Jose Canseco. This peculiar feud was reignited once again by Canseco, the former Oakland Athletics star, who never misses an opportunity to throw darts at his former colleague via social media.
Canseco’s latest shot came on X, where he posted: “Happy Father’s Day to everyone, even A-Rod, joke, joke, everyone except A-Rod.” This comment is a direct continuation of a pattern of trolling they have done. Just last month, Canseco had already used the X platform for a similar attack on Mother’s Day, writing: “Happy Mother’s Day to everyone except you know who, whose first name is a last name that rhymes with fraud.”

The root of this animosity has been a mystery to many, as Canseco has never offered a clear explanation and Rodriguez has rarely responded to the attacks or taken them seriously. Those who do enjoy and laugh at this are his followers and MLB fans in general, as this “feud” is becoming more and more common on social media.
Time goes by and nothing has changed
While the comments Canseco makes on social media may seem harmless and only aimed at laughs, on other occasions he has crossed the line and made more serious and delicate accusations.
In 2008, Canseco publicly claimed that Rodriguez had used steroids, an accusation that A-Rod would later admit to. The controversy escalated even further in March 2019, when Canseco involved Jennifer Lopez in his feud, Rodriguez’s then-fiancee. Canseco claimed that A-Rod was cheating on her with his ex-wife, Jessica, writing on X: “Watching World of Dance, watching J.Lo texting Alex Rodriguez, not knowing that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica. Poor girl, she has no idea who he really is.”
A-Rod opts for silence
One of the most puzzling aspects of this feud is Alex Rodriguez’s lack of a direct and forceful response. Despite the constant attacks and serious accusations, A-Rod has opted for silence, or to publicly dismiss Canseco’s comments, which only seems to fuel the latter’s persistence
This dynamic has kept the rivalry alive in the public sphere, fueled mainly by Canseco’s provocations. The persistence of this “war” seems to be only material for the press and fans who laugh at it and take it as part of the rivalry in the baseball world.

Ravens suffer ‘complete disappointment’ after 34-point loss, the second-worst defeat of John Harbaugh era
The Baltimore Ravens' 2025 season can summed up by what occurred after Jaylin Noel's touchdown on Sunday that stretched Houston Texans' lead to 31 points early in the fourth quarter. Noel celebrated his first career touchdown by mimicking Ray Lewis' patented squirrel dance. Noel's celebration was interrupted by Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander, who tried to steal the ball away before shoving Noel. Alexander's act was symbolic of the pain a proud franchise is currently enduring. Baltimore, the heavy preseason favorite to repeat as AFC North champion, is now 1-4 through five games. Sunday's 44-10 loss was its worst defense since 2017 and is tied for the biggest defeat of the John Harbaugh era. "Just complete disappointment," Harbaugh said afterward. "We're gonna have to find a way to turn it around and figure out who we are this next week and into the bye and […]
Vikings’ missed field goal vs. Browns appears to hit camera wire and goes completely unnoticed
Getty Images The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Cleveland Browns in London on Sunday, 21-17, thanks to an impressive 80-yard game-winning touchdown drive orchestrated by Carson Wentz. However, there was a missed call in this game that made life tougher on the Vikings.In the fourth quarter, the Vikings trotted out Will Reichard to attempt a 51-yard field goal that would have tied the game at 17 apiece. The kick was wide right, and looked like it had some funky action on it. That's because the ball appeared to hit a camera wire.It went unnoticed at the time, but check out videos of the kick, here: If this was noticed by the officials, Reichard would have been given another chance to kick. Here's the language from the NFL rulebook, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk: "[I]f a loose ball in play […]
Same old Chargers? The one thing ruining Justin Herbert’s MVP case, L.A.’s hopes of deep playoff run
The Chargers' vanishing act came in a hurry Sunday against the Commanders. When the offense took the field for its opening drive of the second half, Los Angeles' 10-0 lead had become a 17-10 deficit in 10 minutes of game time.The offensive line would be the next thing to go up in smoke. On first and 10, an unblocked Jordan Magee came flying in on a blitz, and Justin Herbert quite literally disappeared under a sea of white uniforms and burgundy helmets. It officially went down as a sack by Johnny Newton, but any of the four Commanders creating a Herbert sandwich could have been credited.No matter. Herbert has bailed the Chargers out plenty of times before, and it looked like he would again, firing a dart to Quentin Johnston for 23 yards. The only problem? Right tackle Trey Pipkins was […]
