Tigers hire Jason Benetti to do TV play-by-play
Written by I Dig SportsDETROIT -- Longtime Chicago White Sox announcer Jason Benetti is moving to Detroit to become the TV play-by-play voice of the Tigers.
The Tigers organization announced that Benetti has signed a multiyear contract to take over as lead announcer for the team's broadcasts starting next season.
"One of the top voices in sports is coming to the 313!" the Tigers posted Thursday on "X," the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

He also said he was excited for the new opportunity with the Tigers and can't wait to bring the team's "energy to Tigers' fans around the globe."
