Alejandro Kirk's family is getting an early start on Christmas. The Blue Jays catcher is back home in Tijuana, and the tree is already up.

His wife, Sofia Castaneda, shared the scene on her Instagram story. Kirk and their daughter, Emilia, were building Legos beside a decorated tree.

“Casita limpia. Papá y Emilia armando legos. Vinito,” she wrote. That translates to “Clean little house. Dad and Emilia building Legos. A little wine.”

Castaneda also announced a new holiday venture. She and another mother are launching an Instagram page selling handmade Christmas goods.

“Vamos a estar vendiendo cositas navideñas hechas con mucho amor,” she wrote, meaning “We're going to be selling little Christmas things made with love.” The catcher reposted it.

Before heading home, the 28-year-old spent a few days training in Dunedin to get some early work in.

Alejandro Kirk's family focus has always shaped his career

Why does family come up so often with Kirk? Because he's always put it first.

When Emilia was born on Feb. 28, 2023, Kirk waited for her arrival at his California home. He missed the start of spring training and pulled out of Mexico's World Baseball Classic roster.

In March 2025, he called his contract extension a special moment for his family, especially his daughter.

That deal runs through 2030. He'll earn $11.125 million in 2027.

Toronto was smart to shut down the trade chatter around Kirk. A two-time All-Star catcher this grounded is exactly the type of player you build a clubhouse around.

He's like the cornerstone of an old house. You don't notice it every day, but everything else rests on it.

His 2026 was interrupted by a broken thumb that cost him more than two months. A healthy, rested version would be a quiet boost for 2027.

While Kirk builds Legos, the front office is building a roster. The Jays are expected to meet with Tarik Skubal next week, with a second base upgrade and Seiya Suzuki also on the radar.
