TNT Sports Secures Long-Term Future with Baseball Analysts Jimmy Rollins and Jeff Francoeur

TNT Sports has announced multi-year contract extensions with former Major League Baseball stars Jimmy Rollins and Jeff Francoeur, solidifying their roles as key analysts for the network’s baseball coverage. The extensions ensure both will continue to contribute to regular season broadcasts, including “MLB Tuesday” on TBS, and postseason programming.

Jimmy Rollins: A Veteran Voice in the Studio

Jimmy Rollins, who initially joined TNT Sports in 2016, will continue as a studio analyst. The 2007 National League MVP and 2008 World Series champion brings a wealth of experience and insight to the broadcasts, alongside fellow analysts Pedro Martinez and Curtis Granderson, with Lauren Shehadi and Adam Lefkoe hosting Awful Announcing. Rollins’s 14-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he was a Golden Glove-winning shortstop, provides a strong foundation for his tactical analysis and player perspectives.

Jeff Francoeur: From the Field to the Booth

Jeff Francoeur will remain a prominent game analyst, providing commentary alongside play-by-play commentators Brian Anderson and Alex Faust, as well as Ron Darling. Francoeur, known as “Frenchy,” debuted with the Atlanta Braves in 2005 and quickly gained recognition, even appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated that same year Barrett Media. After a 12-year MLB career, he transitioned to broadcasting, developing a reputation for energetic delivery and player-focused insight.

2026 MLB Tuesday on TBS Season Kickoff

TNT Sports’ 2026 baseball season coverage begins on Tuesday, March 31st, with a matchup between the Seattle Mariners, led by 2025 home run champion Cal Raleigh, and the New York Yankees, featuring 2024 home run leader Aaron Judge. The game will air at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time on TBS Warner Bros. Discovery.

Postseason Coverage

In October, TNT Sports will provide exclusive coverage of the 2026 American League Division Series presented by Booking.com and the 2026 American League Championship Series across its networks and platforms Warner Bros. Discovery.
