Rodriguez vowed to win a championship with the Mariners and has reiterated the same several times in his nascent big league career, which took off like a rocket ship as he quickly became the face of the ballclub:

"I want to be successful for this team because I’m the one that’s out there working, putting myself through a lot of things that you guys don’t see, and you will never see, because I will never show you guys.

“But I’m the one that is going after it. I want to win with this team. I want to do the best I can to be able to win with this team. I know people will get frustrated, nobody’s gonna get frustrated as I will be when I fail.

"The only thing I can do is learn from it, grow from it, work on it and come back here [and] get better," Rodriguez said on his glory-hunting mindset.
