ESPN spokesman Ben Cafardo told the Sporting News that Kruk will not be replaced by a single person. Instead, they will use a rotating cast of analysts to fill his air time, which will include former Phillies outfielders Raul Ibanez and Doug Glanville.



Kruk, a member of the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame, joined ESPN as an MLB analyst on Baseball Tonight in 2004. He retired from baseball in 1995 after a 10-year career with the Phillies, San Diego Padres, and Chicago White Sox. The three-time All-Star ended his career with a .300 batting average, 100 home runs and 592 runs batted in.
