Imagine moving six times in one year… now add three kids under four to the mix. That’s real life for ⁠Danielle⁠ and ⁠Tomás Nido⁠, catcher for the Detroit Tigers, former Mets player, and most recently part of the Chicago Cubs organization. In this episode of The Un-a-Parent Podcast, our host Katia Reguero Lindor sits down with the Nidos, dear friends and true parenting superheroes.

They talk about what it’s like to raise a family while constantly relocating, how they stay grounded through chaos, and the teamwork it takes to make it all work. Danielle shares her secrets for staying calm and centered, Tomás brings his signature steadiness, and together they reflect on what keeps their family strong on and off the field.

Meanwhile, Katia jokes that she’s one toddler tantrum away from hiding in the bathroom. (We’ve all been there. )

This is MLB parenting life—unfiltered, emotional, and full of love. A tribute to the mom friends, MLB wives, and parents on the move who remind us we’re not doing this alone, and that every meltdown, diaper blowout, and unexpected trade is a little easier when we have the right people around us.

SHOW NOTES:

In Part 2 of our convo with Kara and Shane Bieber, Francisco Lindor jumps in and things get even more real—and a little more hilarious.

We move past the glow of pregnancy and dive into what happens after baby arrives: the rollercoaster of emotions, navigating postpartum challenges, the evolving dad-baby bond, and the wild attempt to find any kind of balance between baseball and family life.

An honest, heart-to-heart between one couple deep in the trenches of parenthood and another just beginning their journey into it.

Don’t miss the second half of our MLB Mini Season chat with the Biebers! Now that Baby Kav is here, we’re pretty sure they’ll get a kick out of watching this back—and seeing how all those rapid-fire guesses are playing out in real life.
