Legendary former MLB player and manager Dusty Baker is returning to broadcasting.
Baker will be joining TBS’ MLB studio coverage primarily for the playoffs but also for occasional regular-season spots, The Post has learned.
Baker, 75, previously had a similar role for TBS in 2015 and also worked as an analyst for ESPN during the playoffs in 2006 and ’07.
The TBS studio show includes analysts Pedro Martinez, Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson and has several hosts, including Lauren Shehadi.
TBS, which has all the ALDS and ALCS games this season, is under the Turner Sports / Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella.
A WBD Sports spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment.
Baker was a World Series champion both as a player — in 1981 with the Dodgers — and as the manager of the Astros in 2022.
His MLB playing career spanned from 1968 to 1986, with the Braves, Dodgers, Giants and A’s, and included two All-Star appearances and a Gold Glove.
He managed a total of 26 years between 1993 and 2023, with the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals and Astros.
