Diamondbacks fans won’t be hearing a familiar voice during the 2015-16 season.
Jeff Munn, the pregame and postgame radio host and occasional play-by-play fill-in, and the team have agreed to part ways.
Munn wants to pursue his passion of full-time play-by-play. When he met with team executives about a contract extension during the summer, they recognized that he didn’t seem fulfilled with his career direction. They told him he could stay but encouraged him to chase his dream.
“I was grinding away hard at the job but wasn’t getting enough personal satisfaction,” Munn said.
Munn has been with the Diamondbacks since 1996, two seasons before the franchise took the field.
