CHICAGO — Another Chicago Cubs player is tying the knot!
Javier Baez announced on social media Wednesday that he proposed to his longtime girlfriend Irmarie Marquez.
The couple are expecting their first child together in July. Earlier this year, they revealed that they are having a boy.
She Said Yes! ♥️🙏🏼 Con La Ayuda De Dios, Con Los Pies En La Tierra y Mi Corazòn En Tus Manos Juntos Alcanzaremos Lo Que Tanto Hemos Ahnelado. El Tiempo De Dios Es Perfecto. No Puedo Esperar Pasar El Resto De Mi Vida Contigo. pic.twitter.com/Ier3Kk2Sae

Baez worked with online jeweler JamesAllen.com to design the engagement ring. He proposed to her at midnight on her birthday while home for a short trip after being on the road since Spring Training began.
They had been dating since they were 13 years old, and Baez says that he’s always had plans to marry her.
