Carlos Rodon's wife Ashley gets real about the 'dreaded' side of baseball life ahead of Yankees' Opening Day

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had a decent 2024 season, finishing with a 16-9 record, along with a 3.96 ERA and 195 total strikeouts. The 32-year-old is the scheduled Opening Day starter for the Yankees when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers at home.

Though the ace and his family will no doubt be looking forward to the return of MLB, Carlos Rodon's wife, Ashley, shed some light on the 'dreaded' side of baseball life on Saturday.

The Rodon family, who reportedly spent their offseason months in Miami, shifted back to New York ahead of the season opener. Shortly after landing in the Big Apple, Ashley Rodon took to Instagram to talk about the tedious process:

"The dreaded flight and move is complete 🤍 Time for some baseball!" Ashley Rodon captioned one of her Instagram stories

"Three kids... two cats 😂 People definitely were concerned for my well being this time 😅😂," Ashley Rodon added

Carlos and Ashley reportedly first met in 2014 in North Carolina, just after Carlos was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The pair went on to date for four years before tying the knot in Costa Rica in January 2018.
