Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón’s wife, Ashley, questions umpires after New York's tense series win over Astros

FOX MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal joins Danny Parkins ahead of the Trade Deadline to discuss the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays' plans and why the Texas Rangers are a darkhorse team.

Carlos Rodón’s wife, Ashley, struck a tone similar to what some New York Yankees fans expressed after a three-game series against the Houston Astros concluded Thursday.

"The zone is absolutely horrendous the entire series….GESH," Ashley wrote on X. "GESH."

Rodón, a three-time MLB All-Star, managed to record his 16th win of the season following Thursday's 8-4 victory. But his wife was not pleased that he had to battle umpiring controversy along the way. He struck out three batters over six innings.
