Miami Marlins television analyst Tommy Hutton announced Monday that the 2026 season will mark his final year in the broadcast booth, concluding a remarkable 60-year career in Major League Baseball. The 79-year-old broadcaster, who turns 80 on April 20, has been the voice of Marlins baseball since 1997, spanning the franchise's two World Series championships in 1997 and 2003.

Hutton's broadcasting journey began in 1982 with the Montreal Expos before stops with the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and ESPN. His first season with Miami coincided with the Marlins' fifth year of existence and their inaugural World Series title. As a player, Hutton spent 12 major league seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, and Montreal Expos, posting a .248 career batting average with 22 home runs and 186 RBI in 952 games.

Marlins owner Bruce Sherman praised Hutton's impact, calling him 'the voice of Marlins baseball for an entire generation of fans in South Florida.' The veteran broadcaster expressed gratitude to fans, players, and coaches while acknowledging the bittersweet nature of his retirement decision. Miami opens its 2026 season March 27 at home against Colorado, giving fans one final opportunity to hear Hutton's familiar voice behind the microphone.
