What is Kevin Millar Post-Retirement Career?
Millar announced his retirement on April 21, 2010, however on April 27 on MLB Network Radio with Jim Duquette and Kevin Kennedy, he indicated that it was not official since he wanted to continue playing. Millar has joined MLB Network as a studio analyst.
On May 20, 2010, Millar began working as a pregame and postgame analyst for the New England Sports Network (NESN). Millar made his Fox Sports debut on May 22, appearing in MLB on Fox Saturday telecasts. He worked as a pregame, game break, and postgame analyst for the network’s primetime games in the studio, as well as a fill-in color analyst for a few games this season.
Meanwhile, Millar began his professional baseball career in the minors in 1993, with the Northern League’s St. Paul Saints. In 63 games, he hit 260 with five home runs and 30 RBIs.
The Florida Marlins bought Millar’s contract at the beginning of the 1998 season. He made his debut with the squad in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Millar participated in one more game for the Marlins before finishing the season in the minors with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. With the Knights, he hit 326 with four home runs and 15 RBI. Millar returned to the Marlins the following season and remained with the organization until 2002.
Following the 2002 season, Millar was sold to the Chunichi Dragons of the Japanese Central League. To finalize the move, he first needed to clear the waivers requested by the Marlins. However, the Boston Red Sox, who wanted Millar, vetoed the deal with their own waiver claim.
Millar signed a two-year contract with the Dragons in early 2003, but in an extraordinary agreement mediated by MLB, the Marlins later reimbursed the Dragons’ money for Millar, and the Red Sox paid a similar number to the Marlins in exchange for Millar. Consequently, Millar was transferred to the Red Sox.
