Since mutually agreeing to leave ESPN, the fan-favorite Kruk has been looking for opportunities to stay in the booth.
He acknowledged the desire to stay in broadcasting, although he joked about getting into personal fitness.
ESPN and I have mutually agreed to part ways. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for me and my family.
