Q&A: Souza dishes on holiday traditions

ST. PETERSBURG -- Steven Souza Jr. showed a lot of improvement in 2017. The power-hitting right fielder hit .239 with 30 home runs and 78 RBIs.

Now Souza is preparing for the 2018 season, hoping to continue making strides. But first -- the holidays.

Souza, who lives just outside Seattle in Everett, Wash., with his wife, Mikaela, and 1-year-old son, Micah, took a moment to share his thoughts on the holidays in a Q&A with MLB.com.

MLB.com: Does the Souza family have any Christmas traditions?

Souza: We have the one present we open on Christmas Eve.
