The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that former infielder Luis Cruz will join the team's Spanish-language radio broadcast team starting in 2025. Cruz will provide analysis alongside veteran broadcasters Pepe Yniguez and Jose Mota on KTNQ-AM, the Dodgers' flagship Spanish-language station, and the Dodger Latino Media Network. In addition to his role as an analyst, Cruz will participate in fan engagement activities and support the Dodgers' community outreach programs.

"We are thrilled to welcome Luis to our broadcast team," said Dodgers Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Lon Rosen. "His passion and knowledge of the game make him a natural fit for this role. During his time with the Dodgers, he quickly connected with fans, and we're excited for the energy and insights he'll bring to the broadcast."

Cruz added, "I'm very excited about this opportunity. There's a saying, 'Once you're a Dodger, you're always a Dodger.' The fans welcomed me with open arms back in 2012, and now, to be part of the organization again and work with Pepe and Jose, I'm ready to give it my all to make our broadcasts the best they can be."

A Major League veteran, Cruz played five seasons (2008-2010, 2012-2013) with teams including the Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees. His standout year came in 2012 with the Dodgers, where he hit .297 with six home runs and 40 RBIs. He also represented Mexico in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, where he played alongside fellow Dodger Adrian Gonzalez.
