The Rays new TV analyst will be Kevin Kennedy, the former Rangers and Red Sox manager and co-host of FOX network’s now-discontinued studio pre-game show, the Times has learned.

Kennedy, 54, will work most, but not all, of the Rays games, sharing with former pitcher Brian Anderson as partner to Dewayne Staats and replacement for Joe Magrane.

Kennedy also hosts an XM radio show and has been doing pre- and post-game TV for the Dodgers.

An announcement is likely next week.

Ewwwww...

I like Kevin

I like Kevin and he seems to be a real baseball guy with knowledge in the game.

He is alot better then Brian Anderson. He just seems awkward and detached in the booth.

I will miss Joe Magrane badly. STAYING ALIVEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with him over Anderson

But Anderson’s going to get some more time in the booth next year since they’re going to split duties a bit. I’m hoping he improves; I didn’t like him at all last year.

Magrane has more personality than Kennedy

And he’s definitely funnier. Hopefully, Kennedy and Staats will mesh early on, and the broadcast will be good. Otherwise, I may resort to muting the TV and turning the radio on.
