Overwhelmed with excitement and pride, Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India announced the birth of his infant daughter on Instagram. On January 22, he and his fiancée, Daniella Garcia, welcomed baby Adalina Amilia India into the world. India shared a touching picture with the caption:

“There are no words to express this feeling. India’s Adalina Amilia, 1/22/24.”

Jonathan India and Daniella Garcia, who got engaged in Cincinnati’s Ault Park in August of last year and have been dating since 2019, are having a fantastic year in 2024.

Although the Cincinnati Reds are not among the favorites to win the World Series in 2024, there are whispers that Jonathan India may be dealt, which would be a major life alteration of another kind.

Reds Manager David Bell discusses Jonathan India’s role on the team

Given the Reds’ current oversupply of infielders, there are those who believe Jonathan India will be traded shortly. India’s future with the organization was mentioned in a Wednesday media briefing by Cincinnati manager David Bell.

He made the following comment on India’s potential need to play different positions in order to see the field, without addressing the trade rumors that have been going around this winter:

He fully understands the team we have here. If anything, there has been a little more of a change in the direction of “I’ll do whatever it takes to get on the field and support our team.” Whatever it takes to do that. He is obviously a second baseman, and all he wants is to be on the field and in the lineup as much as possible. In order to allow him to play as much as he wants and as much as we want him to, he could need to play various positions, depending on how things work out.

Even if this indicates that India will be involved in 2024, there have been a number of stories indicating that a trade may happen soon. We’ll see if India’s 2024 pregnancy and professional life transition together result in a fresh start for the latter.
