According to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun, Joe Siddall is sliding into the Blue Jays’ television analyst’s chair.

Siddall, who filled in for Martinez last year when he was on medical leave, will work alongside Blue Jays play-by-play announced Dan Shulman for 125 to 130 games in 2026, according to Longley.

Martinez retired after the Blue Jays’ 2025 World Series run.
