CHICAGO -- The White Sox have agreed to a multiyear contract with ESPN's John Schriffen to be their television play-by-play announcer.
The 39-year-old Schriffen replaces Jason Benetti, who took a similar job with the Detroit Tigers in November. Schriffen will call games with longtime analyst Steve Stone for NBC Sports Chicago.
"The White Sox, specifically, is very exciting for me just because of where the organization is," Schriffen said Thursday.
Schriffen said it was exciting to learn of chairman Jerry Reinsdorf's passion for the team and baseball's history when they met in Arizona last weekend.
