Alex Rodriguez’s Sunday night card is filling up…
For eight games on ESPN2, the 46-year-old Dominican American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman, nicknamed “A-Rod,” will join veteran commentator Michael Kay for Sunday Night Baseball with Kay-Rod.
The broadcast will be similar to the ManningCasts that featured former quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning during Monday Night Football this season.
A-Rod’s new show will feature special guests as well as fantasy baseball and predictive elements.
Rodriguez and Kay will also serve as the primary broadcast team for two games during the 2022 season.
Meanwhile, Eduardo Perez will also be joining the ESPN team on Sunday nights.
The 52-year-old Cuban American former professional baseball player, coach and current television sports color commentator will serve as an analyst for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts.
Perez had a 13-season career that ended in 2006. He worked for ESPN from 2006 to 2010, left for Cleveland’s front office, coached for Miami and Houston, and returned to ESPN in 2014.
