Throughout the years perhaps no show has allowed players to express their personality more than MLB Network’s “Intentional Talk.” Unfortunately, as fans and players know the show is no more as host Chris Rose will not be returning in 2021.
“Intentional Talk” will continue next year with Kevin Millar co-hosting with a new partner. To celebrate Rose’s final few shows this week, a number of MLB players came on to thank him for 10 years of entertainment and wish him well moving forward.
Among those to do so was longtime Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who frequently appears on the show. Kershaw knows what it’s like to no longer work with one of his closest friends since AJ Ellis left the Dodgers, so he was able to give Rose and Millar some advice on how to remain close.

Justin Turner, another frequent guest, also came on the last show to wish Rose luck and there even was an appearance from his wife Kourtney.
The final episode of IT with @ChrisRose & @KMillar15 wouldn't have been complete without a visit from @redturn2 & @court_with_a_K!

Both Kershaw and Turner have become great ambassadors for the game in recent years, so it comes as no surprise that they were willing to take some time out of their holiday season to go on Intentional Talk.
MLB Network has no revealed who will replace Rose in 2021, but there is no doubt that whoever that is will have some big shoes to fill.
Roberts hopeful Turner re-signs with Dodgers
While Justin and Kourtney are currently enjoying the holiday season with an RV trip around the country, focus will soon shift towards free agency and where to play next year and beyond.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently made it clear he hopes Turner re-signs, although a number of other teams are showing interest in his services so it remains to be seen if the two sides will be able to come to an agreement.
Turner has not only been great for the Dodgers on the field but also in the clubhouse so L.A. will surely do what it can to keep him.
