Phillies star Trea Turner can't stop gushing over second child, excited to become father again

Trea Turner and his wife were recently blessed with a baby boy. The Philadelphia Phillies shortstop took to social media to declare the news of their second child's arrival as he shared some pictures with the world.

Trea Turner is currently one of the highest paid baseball players. Initally having started off his career with the Washington Nationals, the shortstop's value rose after he led them to a World Series victory in 2019.

He spent the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he achieved immense individual success before becoming a free agent. Turner was signed by the Phillies ahead of this season for a 11-year, $300 million contract.

Throughout his career his family has been a strong support for the 30-year-old. Trea Turner met his wife Kristen Harabedian during their time in college at North Carolina State University in October 2011. After six years of dating, they got engaged in 2017 and decided to get married the next year in D.C. itself, where Trea Turner was playing for the Nationals.

The couple currently resides in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida during the offseason. They welcomed their first son, Beckham Dash Turner, in February 2021.

Posting three pictures of 'Tatum Trea', he welcomed the little one to the family.

"Tatum Trea Our newest addition, we couldn’t be more obsessed with you! Welcome to the family little buddy," Treat Turner wrote on Twitter.
