Comcast Sportsnet California announced that former A's third baseman Eric Chavez will join the broadcast booth for 20 televised games this year as color commentator. Chavez will additionally have a role as a studio analyst for some A's pre- and post-game shows.

Chavez joins Shooty Babbitt and Bip Roberts as rotating studio analysts for A's Pregame Live and A's Postgame Live programs.
