Former Phillie shortstop Jimmy Rollins is making a return to Major League Baseball’s playoffs three short months after being released by the Chicago White Sox.
But he’s not returning to the playoffs as a player. Rollins will join TBS this postseason, beginning this Sunday, according to the network. Rollins, who was with FOX Sports as a studio analyst earlier this season, will be covering the American League playoffs.
Rollins released the following statement:
“I am thrilled to be joining the Turner family. This is a fantastic crew that includes a Hall of Famer, one of the greatest all around hitters of my era and an excellent host. I am looking forward to learning from their experience and contributing the knowledge that I’ve gained over 17 years in a big league uniform.”
Rollins will begin at TBS this Sunday.
