The freshly-retired Raul Ibanez was in the running for the Tampa Bay Rays’ managerial job, but he missed out on that one. Still wanting some kind of work, however, Raul will join Fox Sports 1’s broadcast team this year as an in-studio analyst on pregame and postgame shows. Sadly for Ibanez, he won’t be able to dip while on the clock anymore, nor will he be able to MASH OVER THE RIGHT FIELD FENCE like he did in the spring of 2009. Sad.
