10 questions with Eddy Rodriguez

What's your relationship with Yonder?

We've grown up together. He's like my little brother but he got to the big leagues way before I did (laughs). It's awesome. The last time I saw him play, I was in Cincinnati after my independent league season was done. I was sitting in the stands. Two years later, it's a whole different situation. We're teammates.

Fishing is your hobby, your passion outside of baseball. How often do you go?

Last offseason, I fished at least twice a week. This offseason is going to be a little different. The most important thing is that I get ready for the season, but after I get back from this season, there's about a month where I won't do anything. There's 30 days in that month, about 25 of them I'm going to be on the water.

Does anyone fish with you?

I fish by myself. Its a passion that I've had. It's my getaway, my little sanctuary.

One thing on your bucket list?

Going to the World Cup.

Last meal on earth?

White rice, black beans, chicken and fried plantains.
