Former Toronto Blue Jays player Kevin Pillar is still debating if he plans on coming back to the MLB next season but has found a spot on Sportsnet MLB broadcast in the meantime.
Pillar was signed by the Los Angeles Angels a couple weeks into the season after centerfielder Mike Trout had a season ending injury. Pillar ended up having an unbelievable season for the bottom ranking Angels.

Pillar mentioned this season that this might be his last one but he would take time to make that decision and would wait until a couple weeks before Spring Training to decide if he would come back.
«I'm definitely prepared for it to be the end,» Pillar said via the MLBPA's Jerry Crasnick. «Coming out and saying that was kind of my way to remind myself to enjoy what could be my last year If an opportunity [to play] presents itself sooner rather than later, that's a decision you're going to have to make. But I won't go until February.»
While Pillar tries to make up his mind on returning to the MLB next season, he has found a new job with Sportsnet MLB broadcast team as he has been on the panel for the World Series.
Pillar also mentioned that baseball has been the main focus of his life up until now and he is excited to see what retirement brings whenever he ends up calling it a career in the near future.
«Baseball has been my life since I was four years old,» Pillar added to Crasnick. «Really, since I was in college, it's been my full-time obsession and year-round job. Once I can kind of push that aside and focus on other things, I'm excited to see how that turns out.»
