You’ve probably been beaten over the head by news of Len Kasper’s departure by now, so we’ll keep this brief. Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney and Marquee general manager Mike McCarthy held a press conference Friday afternoon to address the vacancy in the TV booth and how they plan to go about filling it.
Despite reports from Thursday evening that former ESPN and Fox Sports broadcaster Chris Myers would take over after being hired in January as a part-time analyst, it was made clear that a replacement has not been named. That may simply be lip service or even a little bit of backtracking over backlash to the reports, but Kenney indicated there will be a legitimate search.
