Kristen Turner Advocates for International Justice Mission
Kristen Turner, the wife of Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, took to Instagram on Wednesday to raise awareness about the International Justice Mission (IJM), a nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking and exploitation.
Kristen credited Lexi Realmuto, the wife of Phillies catcher JT Realmuto, for introducing her to the organization. Sharing her enthusiasm for IJM’s mission, Kristen posted:
“Thank you @ltrealmuto for introducing us to an amazing cause! @ijm does amazing work to end human trafficking.”
Kristen also amplified posts by other members of the Phillies community, including Jessica Castellanos (wife of Nick Castellanos), Marissa Hoffman (wife of reliever Jeff Hoffman), and Natalia Figueroa (wife of base-running coach Paco Figueroa), who have also supported IJM.
Thanksgiving and Family Moments
Earlier this month, Kristen shared a heartwarming family photo featuring Trea and their two sons, Beckham and Tatum, to celebrate Thanksgiving. She captioned the post:
“Sweetest moments from Thanksgiving.”
Trea Turner’s 2024 Season Recap
Trea Turner had an impressive regular season with the Phillies, posting a .295 batting average, 21 home runs, and 62 RBIs. His speed and consistency were instrumental in helping the Phillies clinch the NL East title for the first time since 2011, breaking the Atlanta Braves’ dominance.
Unfortunately, the Phillies’ postseason run ended in disappointment, as they fell to the New York Mets in the NLDS.
Looking Ahead
For now, Trea Turner is enjoying quality time with Kristen and their children during the offseason. He will refocus on baseball as spring training kicks off in February, with hopes of building on the Phillies’ strong 2024 campaign.
Kristen’s advocacy for IJM exemplifies the broader efforts by Phillies families to use their platform for meaningful causes, extending their impact beyond the baseball field.
