CHICAGO -- Cubs infielder Javier Baez announced a new addition on Wednesday with the news that he and longtime girlfriend Irmarie Marquez are expecting a baby.

Baez posted a photo of him with Marquez holding a child-sized Baez jersey on Twitter: "Una Bendicion Mas De Dios! Baby Baez is Coming!!! What do you think [it] will be? Boy or Girl? deja tu opinion ..."
