Some Major League Baseball broadcast teams stay together for decades. And then there\u2019s the Miami Marlins.<\/p>\n
As\u00a0Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported<\/a>, the Marlins have told Kyle Sielaff that his time as the franchise\u2019s TV voice was ending after two seasons.<\/p>\n The Marlins are also moving on from television analyst Jeff Nelson, studio host Craig Minervini, and analyst Rod Allen.<\/p>\n According to Jackson, current\u00a0Marlins radio announcer Jack McMullen is a strong front-runner to replace Sielaff.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, former Miami Hurricanes and Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez will take the Marlins\u2019 primary television analyst role and work most of the team\u2019s games next season. The Marlins will also bring in a second analyst to share the role with Sanchez.<\/p>\n The Marlins have used a rotating cast of analysts in recent seasons, with three in 2026 (Hutton, Nelson and Sanchez). Hutton retired at season\u2019s end<\/a>, and the Marlins have moved on from Nelson.<\/p>\n The Marlins have installed revolving doors in the TV and radio booths in recent years. After Rich Waltz retired as the Marlins\u2019 TV voice in 2017 following 13 seasons, Paul Severino held the job for seven years before the Marlins didn\u2019t renew his contract after the 2024 season. Sielaff, previously the Marlins\u2019 radio voice, moved to television in 2025<\/a>, and McMullen took his radio chair.<\/p>\n According to Jackson, McMullen is seen as the frontrunner for the job as he\u2019s viewed as \u201chaving considerable natural talent as a broadcaster\u201d and shone in several August TV appearances when he and Sielaff switched roles for a series.<\/p>\n The Marlins booth hasn\u2019t performed well in Awful Announcing\u2019s MLB local announcer rankings. The most recent booth finished 26th overall<\/a>, drawing heavy criticism from fans who felt the product lacked \u201cpolish\u201d and \u201ccharisma.\u201d It had finished 28th the year prior. Meanwhile, the radio booth didn\u2019t fare any better, finishing 29th overall<\/a>, \u00a0though McMullen earned individual praise as a \u201ckeeper\u201d and a \u201cbig, big improvement,\u201d thanks to strong preparation and a great radio voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some Major League Baseball broadcast teams stay together for decades.
