As SoxSteve posted earlier, Len Kasper is indeed leaving the Cubs television booth for the White Sox radio booth. Len has said that he’s always wanted to call a World Series, and that was never happening without either switching to radio or landing a gig on a network that broadcast World Series games.

FROM THE HOME OFFICE — Len Kasper Moves South to Join Sox Radio Booth
As if 2020 couldn’t be weird enough, we learned very late Thursday night that Cubs TV voice Len Kasper has taken his microphone and moved to the White Sox radio booth, as the team prepares to head back to WMVP-AM 1000. He takes over after Andy Masur’s one-year run as the full-time play-by-play voice on […]
Yu’s Still Aces Cubs – 0; Reds – 3

However, Alec would like to tell you he […]
THE MARQUEE NETWORK: Still awful.
So after pretty much everyone else started in the past week or so, the Marquee Network has breathlessly announced that they will broadcast tonight’s Cubs intrasquad game from Wrigley Field. The Sox have been broadcasting them for a couple days, and it’s been enough time to see that Luis Robert is a helluva player, as […]
