Jimmy Rollins has found a second career that he loves almost as much as playing baseball — talking about baseball. Rollins wrapped up 10 years as a studio analyst with TNT in 2025 and recently signed a contract extension to stay with the network as part of its pre-game studio show. The terms and length of the deal were not announced, but Rollins will apparently be staying with the network for the “next few years,” according to a network spokesperson.
Rollins television career began with FOX during the 2013 World Series while he was still playing. After his career ended, he did a few television games with NBC Sports Philadelphia sitting alongside of Tom McCarthy and John Kurk, before accepting the job with TNT. The draw was not being on a national network, but rather being in a studio setting where he can talk back and forth and debate other former players on the game.
TNT pairs Rollins with former Phillies teammate Pedro Martinez and former Yankee Curtis Granderson as the former players on the show. The cast is hosted by Lauren Shehadi.
Rollins is said to love the give-and-take with former players and the opportunity to stay close to the game that he loves.
The network carries MLB games on Tuesday nights that are non-exclusive games, meaning that they are broadcast on local networks in addition to being carried by TNT. Another former Phillie, Jeff Francoeur is a game analyst for the network. The TNT lineup has added the American League divisional and championship series to their lineup for the 2026 season.
