Jeremy Affeldt was pulled in from the bullpen… for CSN Bay Area.
The erstwhlie Giants lefthander, who retired from the majors in 2015, will be filling in as a broadcaster this season as longtime Giants color commentator Mike Krukow cuts back his schedule because of health concerns.
“I just wanted to help out where I could,” Affeldt told Greg Papa of 95.7 The Game on Tuesday. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Affeldt and fellow former Giants reliever Javier Lopez will split 42 road games, with Affeldt reportedly taking games in the central United States and Lopez on the East Coast.
