PHILADELPHIA -- John Kruk is officially part of the Phillies' broadcast team.
Comcast SportsNet announced on Monday that Kruk will join Tom McCarthy, Ben Davis, Mike Schmidt and Gregg Murphy on TV for the 2017 season. Kruk, who sources said signed a five-year contract, will be introduced at a news conference on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park.
MLB.com first reported that CSN and Kruk were negotiating a contract in early November. The parties agreed to a deal later that month, but it took another two months to finalize it.
"I am looking forward to working with Tom, Mike, Ben and Gregg," Kruk said in a statement.
