Showalter joined MLB Network as a studio analyst, the network announced Tuesday, replacing Joe Girardi, who was hired as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies this offseason. Showalter made his debut Tuesday on MLB Tonight at 2 p.m. alongside host Fran Charles and analyst and former Orioles infielder Bill Ripken.
Showalter is scheduled to be part of two MLB Network broadcasts this week — Wednesday’s 1 p.m. game between the Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros at 1 p.m. and Sunday’s game between the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels at 4 p.m. — and will appear on Friday’s MLB Tonight.
