Rodón’s wife, Ashley, showed the vile messages she received from people who were upset with her husband.
"DM’s already willlllld. I love interacting with everyone, but there’s no place for this s---," she wrote on X along with screenshots of some terrible messages.
Carlos Rodón signed with the Yankees before the start of the 2023 season. He had an abysmal first season but rebounded in 2024. He won a career-high 16 games in 32 appearances. He brought his ERA down to 3.96 from 6.85.

However, when the Yankees needed him the most, he came up short.
"Obviously, I want to be better than that — especially how the first three innings went," Rodón said. "I wouldn’t say I tired out. Just got to be better with those pitches, just more fine with them and get to better spots."
