Thursday BP: Hunter Pence and Jake Peavy to join MLB Network
Good morning, baseball fans!
Some good news for you today, if you’ve been missing your regular doses of Hunter Pence or Jake Peavy since retirements, you’re in luck! The two will be joining MLB Network as full-time, in-studio analysts for the 2022 season.
Pence and Peavy were both mid-season trades in years where the San Francisco Giants won the World Series (2012 and 2014 respectively), becoming teammates in 2014 with Peavy’s arrival from Boston.
Peavy’s final game in the league was in 2016, though he didn’t announce his retirement until 2019. Pence’s final game was in 2020, during his brief reunion with the team before being released and ultimately choosing to retire shortly thereafter.
