While the MLB franchise welcomed the baby boy to the world, many fans filled the comments with sweet words and congratulatory messages for the new mom and dad.

A week before the outfielder and his wife became parents; he was in the news after receiving a false COVID-19 positive test. When the shocking test result proved positive, the SFG had to cancel their game with the San Diego Padres.
