Toronto Blue Jays' Ernie Clement lands World Series media gig

Ernie Clement is heading to the World Series for the second straight year, but this time around, the Toronto Blue Jays infielder has a very different role.

Clement will leave his bat and glove at home, as he has landed an on-field media correspondent role to cover the Fall Classic with the MLB Network.

The 30-year-old was named one of three players who will help cover the upcoming World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays for the league-owned network and its social media team.

Blue Jays fans will be able to catch Clement on MLB Network and its social channels, providing "player-first coverage and perspective" during Games 3 and 4, when the series shifts from Milwaukee to Tampa's Tropicana Field.

The role is a little different than the one the Blue Jays All-Star had during this time last season, when Clement set an MLB postseason record for hits with 30. Twelve of them in the World Series — one shy of the all-time record.

Clement is one of three players taking on the on-field correspondent role during this year's World Series. Boston Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle and retired Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas will cover Games 1 and 2.

The 2026 World Series kicks off this Friday in Milwaukee.
