Carlos Rodon's Wife Reveals 'Disgusting' Online Threat After Yankees Started ALDS Talk

Carlos Rodon had to deal with his slider disappearing in the fourth inning and after a 4-2 loss to Kansas City in the ALDS in the Bronx, the left-hander and his family were forced to deal with online threats.

Rodon's wife, Ashley, posted screenshots from X posted by anonymous users that mocked the couple's use of IVF and wrote unflattering messages about their children.

“People are pretty nasty sometimes,” Rodon said when the theme of the messages was relayed to him. “But that doesn't explain Yankee fans. I don't think that's who they are. Got it [fans] Disappointed with the game, but my message to the fans around is, 'We're human too.' We are not always perfect. … Let's not forget it's just a game and don't threaten people's families.”

The ugliness came after Rodon allowed four runs in 3 ²/₃ innings in his first postseason as a Yankee.

The lefty's Yankee postseason career appeared to be off to a great start before he fell apart in the fourth.

He struck out early in the order, needing only 12 pitches, and he punctuated each whiff with an exclamation, spinning and yelling on the mound.

That confidence was soon gone.

In a scene all too familiar to Yankee fans, Rodon saw his stuff quickly disappear, this time in a critical situation, as the Yankees allowed four runs in the top of the fourth after taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third. .

Rodon looked dominant in the first two innings, striking out four and retiring six of the first seven batters before allowing two hits in the third.

But Salvador Perez led off the fourth with a booming homer to left on a swinging 2-0 slider to tie the game at 1-1, and things got worse from there.

Yuli Gurriel followed with a single on a slider and moved to second on a wild pitch.

Tommy Pham put Kansas City ahead with a single to right-center off another weak slider, and after Rodon was on the verge of ending the inning on a Hunter Renfro strikeout, Rodon was burned again by a single to right off a slider. Garrett Hampson made it 3-1 and ended his night.

Ian Hamilton entered and gave up an RBI single to Garcia for the fourth and final run of the inning.

Rodon “Sorry about the hitable sliders. I could have been better with those pitches. I wanted to be better.”

The final result was much different than the early going.

The Yankees expected the 31-year-old to follow up his strong regular season, which he finished with a 2.20 ERA over his last five starts.

Instead, it ended badly for Rodon on and off the field.

“It's part of doing business,” Rodon said of the threat. “We get paid very well to play a game, but there's no place to threaten harmless little kids.”
