That included last season, in which she worked as the chief sideline reporter for the Philadelphia Phillies.

But following the expiration of her contract at the end of 2025, Hatcher revealed last week that her role at the network had been “eliminated.”

But Hatcher has been getting over the unfortunate decision with a trip to Europe, sharing snaps from a visit to Switzerland last week.

She took a ride on the Bernina Express over the Alps, having spent time in Italy days earlier.

She uploaded pictures of herself with the beautiful surroundings to her 115,000 Instagram followers.

One fan said, “You’re absolutely gorgeous.”

Another gushed, “Always looking stellar.”

While a third fan added, “HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!”

There were also a number of commenters lamenting her dismissal from her NBC role and expressing their support for her career.

One said, “Will miss you Taryn! You have been a blessing to Philadelphia sports for all these years. Wishing you all the best with whatever comes next!”

While another said, “NBC Sports Philly had better get their act together.”

Rumors of a split between Hatcher and the broadcaster emerged earlier this month.

Local outlet the Liberty Line reported that she and the network have been in a contract dispute following the end of her existing deal.

And those whispers of an exit were confirmed at the weekend, with Hatcher releasing a statement to her X account confirming the departure.

She wrote, “Cat’s out of the bag, so I’ll keep this short and sweet as possible.

“Sadly I won’t be returning on Phillies coverage this season. At the conclusion of the 2025 season, I was told that my role on the sidelines at NBCSP was being eliminated moving forward.

“While the news was pretty heartbreaking, I have to acknowledge that it was a really fun run. I loved every second of it.

“I’m grateful for everyone who tuned in over the years, and for the wonderful people I’ve met along the way.”
