This week has featured plenty of surprising news for Chicago baseball fans, and Thursday ended up being no exception.
Play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti announced that he signed a multi-year contract with the Detroit Tigers to call games for the club on TV after eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox.
Benetti joined the White Sox in 2016 and took over full-time play-by-play duties at the start of the 2019 season.

Dear @whitesox fans,
