Ryne Sandberg will join Marquee Sports Network as what the channel is calling a “multi-platform analyst.”
Sandberg, a Hall of Fame infielder for the Cubs, will be part of game broadcasts, as well as pregame and postgame shows, podcasts and interview shows.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the incredible team at Marquee Sports Network,” Sandberg said in a statement released by Marquee. “I look forward to offering insight and sharing my stories to further connect with Cubs fans across the country, and pass along knowledge to the next generation of athletes and fans.”
“We are excited to welcome ‘Ryno’ to the Marquee Sports Network family,” said Marquee General Manager Mike McCarthy. “Ryne defined a generation of Cubs baseball, and we look forward to having him contribute to all facets of our network moving forward.”
Over his 16-year major league career — 15 years with the Cubs — Sandberg was a 10-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glove Award winner, seven-time Silver Slugger and 1984 NL MVP. The team retired his No. 23 in 2005.
