Dodgers: Kike Hernandez announces baby in hilarious post

Kiké Hernandez is pregnant… Not really.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Kiké Hernandez announced on Twitter that he is having a baby girl… Well, maybe he will leave the actual pregnancy to his wife.

In a hilarious post on Twitter, Hernandez is standing next to his wife with a giant bump under his shirt. She is kissing the bump in one picture and holding a onesie that says, “Hello, I’m new here” in another. In a final picture to complete the ensemble, Hernandez takes his shirt off to show his fake baby bump.

He wrote on Instagram how the couple learned they were having a baby girl.

Me: “babe, I know we’re gonna wait but I gotta tell you… I’m a bit worried that I’ll never be ready to be a dad, I feel like I’m a child!”Mariana: “I hear ya! I think I feel like that too sometimes. But it’s okay cuz we’re gonna wait and we’ll get there.”Me: phewMay 2nd: Mariana pees on a stick; little + popped up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I gotta tell ya, that switch flipped instantly as soon as I saw that stick! I’m so freaking pumped and excited to be a #GirlDad!!!

Hernandez married his wife back in 2018 with several Dodger players present at their wedding, including current teammates Corey Seager, Austin Barnes, Chris Taylor, and Alex Wood, to name a few.

It’s an important season for Dodgers infielder Kiké Hernandez.

The utility player is entering his final season of arbitration with the Dodgers. After signing a one-year, $5.9 million contract to avoid arbitration this past offseason, he is set to become a free agent in the winter.

With super-prospect Gavin Lux expected to transition into an everyday role at second base and the outfield jammed with the arrival of Mookie Betts, it might be difficult for Hernandez to find his typical workload this season. Last year, he played 85 games at second and 47 in the outfield.

Manager Dave Roberts has indicated that he plans on using the designated hitter role to give regular players partial days off. Perhaps that will allow Hernandez to find opportunities by spelling the guys who DH.

The Dodgers are set to report to camp on Wednesday as they prepare for a shortened 2020 season that they hope leads to their first world championship since 1988. Of course, beyond battling opposing teams to make it to October, all of Major League Baseball will be competing against the novel coronavirus in attempting to play an entire season in the shadow of the pandemic.
