9-year veteran Yandy Diaz has made a name for himself in recent seasons with the Rays as he's become one of the most consistent offensive presences in the MLB.

With all this said, the 34-year-old athlete doesn't prefer to be in the spotlight as he keeps his private life pretty secret. This is a fair attribute for the Cuban native, but is it the only reason why he's not performing in the World Baseball Classic?
