During the baseball offseason, Agler calls play-by-play of national radio broadcasts on Compass Media Networks for NFL, NCAA football and NCAA basketball games. Having come to San Diego by way of Miami, Agler spent four seasons as the pregame, halftime and postgame host on the Dolphins Radio Network.
