The new Marquee Sports Network made several noteworthy announcements during the business operations panel at Cubs Convention Saturday afternoon. In addition to confirming the continued partnership of broadcasting legends Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies, the network revealed its complete on-air roster and additional TV carriage deals.
Many familiar faces will be joining Marquee for the 2020 season, including former MLB Network personalities Mark DeRosa, Dan Plesac, and Carlos Peña. Ryan Dempster will be contributing, as will Jason Hammel and Rick Sutcliffe. Other notables names include the detail-oriented Doug Glanville and former Cubs manager Lou Piniella.
New studio host Cole Wright was with the NFL Network before joining Marquee, and former college football sideline reporter Taylor McGregor will be handling the in-game content on the field.
