Aaron Judge and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, are expecting a child together. The Yankees captain will welcome his baby girl into the world next year. Just a day after Judge and his wife broke the news about their pregnancy, Shohei Ohtani posted that he was expecting his first child with his wife, Mamiko Tanaka.
The Dodgers star took to social media as he broke the news on Instagram. Ohtani shared an image of his dog Decoy, a pair of baby shoes, and a jumper. Ohtani’s caption read: “Can’t wait for the rookie to join our family soon.”
Fans were excited when Ohtani’s post received more than 1.9 million likes. Dodgers fans were even more excited to learn the news about their superstar. MLB reposted the post on its official X account with the caption: “Shohei Ohtani and Mamiko are having a baby.”
Yankees fans questioned the league since they believed that Aaron Judge did not receive the same amount of publicity.

Aaron Judge Is All Set To Embrace The 2025 Season Without Juan Soto
The Yankees let go of Juan Soto long ago as they added not one but several star players to their lineup. The Bronx Bombers did their best to pursue Soto, but the Mets prevailed. Judge and Soto had a great chemistry in pinstripes.
With Soto gone, the Yankees captain has more to look forward to. Judge is all set to embrace the 2025 season without Soto. The slugger will have more responsibility to lead his team to the World Series without Soto.
Furthermore, he’s going to become a father next year. Judge is also hyped with Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt. Judge and Goldschmidt have been good friends since they both won their league’s MVP award in 2022.
The Yankees are also predicted to sign Japanese star Roki Sasaki and target another superstar for their offense. MLB trade rumors continue for several top free agents as the New Year begins.
