In a shocking announcement, the Chicago White Sox revealed that broadcaster Jason Benetti will be leaving the team's booth next season to call games for the Detroit Tigers. White Sox chief marketing officer Brooks Boyer expressed the team's support for Benetti's career move, citing previous opportunities that Benetti had pursued while under contract with the White Sox.

Throughout his tenure with the White Sox, Benetti has become a beloved figure among fans, known for his unique style and deep knowledge of the game. A lifelong White Sox enthusiast, Benetti's departure will undoubtedly leave a void in the broadcast team.

Benetti's journey with the White Sox started in 2016, and he took over full-time play-by-play duties in 2019, following the retirement of Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson. His departure marks the end of an era for White Sox broadcasting.

Taking to Twitter, Benetti expressed his gratitude towards White Sox fans, stating, "I will always cherish you and your passion and joy. You mean more than you know to me." This heartfelt message reflected his connection with the fans and the impact he had during his time in the booth.

With Len Kasper set to remain as the radio play-by-play announcer, the White Sox will now begin the search for a new play-by-play caller to work alongside Steve Stone. It will be crucial for the team to find someone who can seamlessly fill the shoes left by Benetti and maintain the same level of enthusiasm and expertise.

As Benetti prepares to embark on this new chapter of his broadcasting career with the Detroit Tigers, fans in both Chicago and Detroit eagerly anticipate his impressive talents gracing the airwaves. The move to a new team presents an invaluable opportunity for Benetti to showcase his skills on a national scale, following his previous assignments with ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Statcasts, the Olympics, and FOX national broadcasts.

While the White Sox bid farewell to Jason Benetti, they remain hopeful for the future and grateful for his contributions to the team's broadcasting legacy. As Benetti steps into his new role with the Detroit Tigers, fans eagerly await the start of the next baseball season, armed with the knowledge that both teams will have exceptional broadcasting talents bringing the games they love into their homes.
