Six-time MLB All-Star Curt Schilling has agreed to join Clay Travis' media network 'Outkick.'

He is expected to host 'The Curt Schilling Baseball Show' for the website starting on February 24th.

The video podcast is expected to air new episodes on Tuesdays and Fridays during Spring Training and will continue throughout the regular season.

'I'm excited to be teaming with a group of motivated, focused people, who are intent on making OutKick a leader and most excited to talk baseball, and only baseball,' said Schilling in a statement. 

'After meeting the team and the opportunity to get back to the sport I love and focus only on that was too appealing to pass up.' 

Schilling is expected to host current and former baseball stars on his new show while offering his 'unvarnished' opinion on the sport.

Those 'unvarnished' opinions have gotten Schilling in hot water in the past, including costing him his job as an MLB analyst for ESPN in 2016.  

Schilling was fired by ESPN after sharing a Facebook post in response to a North Carolina law banning transgender people from using locker rooms and bathrooms that don't match their birth genders.

He would follow this up by accusing ESPN of firing him for 'being a conservative' after former ESPN reporter Jemele Hill kept her job after calling President Donald Trump a 'white supremacist.' Hill later took a multi-million buyout from ESPN, and now works for the Atlantic.

Schilling would later voice his support for Trump voters who stormed Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. This led Trump to encourage the right-hander to run for Congress in 2019, calling him 'a great pitcher and patriot.'

Travis, Schilling's new boss and host of the 'The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, called the 56-year-old Schilling one of 'best baseball analysts' in the country. He also took time to take a shot at Schilling's former employee, ESPN.

'OutKick is, and will always be, the strongest proponent for smart, original, funny, and authentic voices in all of sports. Unlike the pathetic losers at ESPN, we don't believe in cancel culture, and we never will,' Travis said in a statement.

'If you want to hear what sports fans really think without fear of woke consequences, you need to be reading and watching OutKick every day. Buckle up for a fun ride, and welcome to OutKick, Curt.' 

Schilling also lashed out at 'coward' baseball writers for not voting him into MLB's Hall of Fame in 2021, before demanding that his candidacy be removed following his ninth rejection.
