Marquee Sports Network Announces Jon ‘Boog’ Sciambi as New Cubs PBP Announcer, Replacing Len Kasper

The Cubs still haven’t done anything to address an offense that “broke somewhere along the lines,” but Marquee Sports Network knocked it out of the park by hiring ESPN vet Jon “Boog” Sciambi. Initial reports in the immediate wake of Len Kasper’s surprising departure after 16 years in the TV broadcast booth had Marquee part-timer Chris Myers as the choice to take over. That possibility was met with harsh criticism and may have been a trial balloon of sorts for network decision-makers.

Crane Kenney quickly refuted the notion that a choice had already been made, saying they planned to take swings at some big names.
