Apart from being a legendary baseball player, Rodriguez is also the chairman and CEO of A-Rod Corp and chairman of Presidente beer. Additionally, he is part owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Rodriguez was one of the most highly regarded prospects in professional baseball history, and is considered one of the best baseball players of all time. He achieved several milestones, such as amassing over 600 home runs (696), over 2,000 runs batted in (RBI), over 2,000 runs scored, over 3,000 hits, and over 300 stolen bases, becoming the only player in MLB history to achieve all of these feats. Rodriguez was a 14-time All-Star, a three-time American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award winner, a 10-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and a two-time Gold Glove Award winner. He is also the career record holder for grand slams with 25. Rodriguez signed two of the most lucrative contracts in baseball. However, he admitted to using banned performance-enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003, leading to a suspension for the entire 2014 season.

Rodriguez was the first overall pick of the Seattle Mariners in the 1993 MLB draft and debuted in the major leagues at the age of 18 the following year. In 1996, he became the Mariners' starting shortstop, won the major league batting title, and finished second in the AL MVP Award voting. He left the team via free agency after the 2000 season to join the Rangers, where he signed a 10-year, $252 million contract, the richest in baseball history at the time. He played at a high level during his three years with Texas, winning his first AL MVP Award in 2003, but the team failed to make the playoffs during his tenure.

Before the 2004 season, Rodriguez was traded to the Yankees, where he converted to a third baseman to accommodate their shortstop Derek Jeter. He won AL MVP in 2005 and 2007. After the 2007 season, Rodriguez opted out of his contract, and then signed a new 10-year, $275 million deal with the Yankees, breaking his own record for the most lucrative contract in the sport. He became the youngest player to hit 500 home runs in 2007 and helped the Yankees win the 2009 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which was his only championship title.

Toward the end of his career, he was limited by hip and knee injuries, which caused him to become exclusively a designated hitter. He played his last game in professional baseball on August 12, 2016.

In 2007, Rodriguez denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs, but in 2009, he admitted to having used steroids, saying that he used them from 2001 to 2003 when he played for the Rangers due to an enormous amount of pressure to perform. In 2013, Rodriguez made headlines while recovering from a hip injury by feuding with team management over his rehabilitation and for having allegedly obtained performance-enhancing drugs as part of the Biogenesis baseball scandal.

In August 2013, Rodriguez received a 211-game suspension from MLB due to his involvement in a scandal. The suspension was later reduced to 162 games after an arbitration hearing, causing him to be unable to play during the entire 2014 season.

After retiring from playing baseball, Rodriguez transitioned into a media personality role. He became a broadcaster for Fox Sports 1, a cast member of Shark Tank, and joined the ABC News network. In January 2018, ESPN announced that Rodriguez would be a member of the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team.

Additionally, in January 2017, CNBC announced that Rodriguez would host Back In The Game, a show where he would help former athletes make a comeback in their personal lives. The show's first episode debuted on the network in March 2018.
