Former Tigers TV voice, Josh Lewin, not a contender for Fox Sports Detroit opening

A one-time Tigers television play-by-play anchor is taking a new job in 2019, but it will not be in Detroit.

Josh Lewin, who was Fox Sports Detroit's play-by-play regular from 1998-2001, last week departed his job as Mets radio voice and is expected within days to be announced to a similar post, likely on the West Coast.

Lewin would not talk specifically Saturday about his new job as contract talks are finalized. But he is not, he said, a contender for FSD’s play-by-play spot, which opened in September when Mario Impemba’s tenure ended following an altercation in Chicago with analyst Rod Allen.
