However you put it, this young Kansas City Royals team has been busy since the offseason building the franchise by adding baby after baby to the lineup.
Over the weekend the wives of Royals players threw a baby shower for three of the newest moms and two mommies-to-be in their tight-knit group.
The “Bebe Cafe” party at Kauffman Stadium, featuring a mouth-watering waffle bar and “bottle service,” honored new mamas Millie Lynch, Cassi Lorenzen and Becca Schreiber, and Sarah Wacha and Shelby Wright, who are pregnant.
“Sweetest Royals baby shower celebrating the new mamas and mamas with bebes on the way!” Wacha wrote on her Instagram.
Wright responded: “Can’t wait for our babies to be besties!!! Love you!!”
Wright, the wife of pitcher Kyle Wright, announced her pregnancy in April.
Wacha, married to pitcher Michael Wacha, went public with her pregnancy in March. She has referred to Wright as “my pregnancy twin.”
Pitcher Daniel Lynch and his wife, Millie Lynch, announced on social media last July, “baby Lynch coming 2025!! We are so grateful for our double rainbow gift from above!!” They had a girl.
Cassi Lorenzen, wife of Michael Lorenzen, had the couple’s second baby, a boy, in January when the pitcher wrote on Instagram: “Blessed to welcome this little (giant) guy into the world! Thank you God.”
Pitcher John Schreiber, and his wife, Becca, welcomed a girl, Madison Jean, on Feb. 24. Madison is their second child, too. Their son, Charlie, is 2.
If you’re planning a baby shower soon, take note.
The moms went home with super-enviable swag, including plush Saranoni blankets, Noodle & Boo luxury skin care for mom and baby and the cutest Babiators sunglasses for babies and kids.
They also received trendy WubbaNub pacifiers — they have plush toys attached to them — that now come in MLB versions at Target.
Yes, there’s a Royals pacifier.
