Cubs fans were presented with a bit of a shock to the system, though not really a surprise, with the non-tender of Kyle Schwarber earlier this week.
Late Thursday, we were greeted with news that truly is shocking with this report from Sahadev Sharma in The Athletic that Cubs TV play-by-play voice Len Kasper is departing Marquee Sports Network to become the White Sox’ radio play-by-play man on ESPN 1000.
Len’s reasons for switching Chicago jobs had nothing to do with any displeasure with his position with Marquee, writes Sharma:
Kasper, who turns 50 in January, has always been passionate about radio and relished his opportunities to sit in on radio broadcasts with Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer during the fifth inning of nationally televised games.
