TNT Sports Announces Multi-Year Extensions with Jimmy Rollins and Jeff Francoeur
Baseball Superstars to Continue as Analysts for TNT Sports' "MLB Tuesday" Regular Season and MLB Postseason Coverage
2026 Season Coverage on TBS to Begin Tuesday, March 31 with Seattle Mariners Hosting New York Yankees at 9:30 p.m. ET
TNT Sports today announced multi-year extensions with beloved MLB greats Jimmy Rollins and Jeff Francoeur, serving as analysts for the regular season and MLB Postseason.
Joining TNT Sports in 2016, Jimmy Rollins is a World Series Champion (2008), a three-time MLB All-Star and the 2007 NL MVP. Now as a studio analyst for TBS, J-Roll is known for his vibrant personality and deep tactical knowledge of the game, drawing on his 14 years with the Philadelphia Phillies as a Golden Glove-winning shortstop. Rollins will continue his role alongside fellow studio analysts Pedro Martinez and Curtis Granderson, along with Lauren Shehadi and Adam Lefkoe as hosts.
Jeff Francoeur is a hometown hero - born and raised just outside of Atlanta, "Frenchy" was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and made his debut in 2005, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated that same year, dubbed "The Natural." Now in the booth for TBS after 12 years in MLB, Francoeur has become known for his dynamic and insightful commentary, along with player-centric analysis. He will continue his role as game analyst alongside play-by-play commentators Brian Anderson and Alex Faust, as well as fellow game analyst Ron Darling.
MLB Tuesday on TBS will open its 2026 regular season coverage on Tuesday, March 31, with a matchup of baseball's home run leaders from the past two seasons: 2025 Home Run Champion Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners will host 2024 Home Run Champion Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees at 9:30 p.m. ET. View the latest MLB Tuesday on TBS 2026 schedule here.
Come October, TNT Sports will conclude its 53rd year of baseball by providing exclusive coverage of the 2026 American League Division Series presented by Booking.com and 2026 American League Championship Series across its networks and platforms.
