Impemba, Allen gone for 2018; Tigers scramble for replacements

Detroit — What happens now, for the Tigers, and for Fox Sports Detroit, after the Friday dismissals of Mario Impemba and Rod Allen was not a topic easily discussed nor clearly resolved Friday at Comerica Park.

FSD's Tigers telecasts were rocked when Tigers broadcast-booth regulars Impemba and Allen were suspended following a Tuesday night fight at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.

FSD announced Friday afternoon that neither Impemba nor Allen would be returning to Tigers telecasts in 2018. Their future status is undetermined.

"After speaking with all involved parties, FOX Sports Detroit has decided not to schedule Rod Allen and Mario Impemba for any future Tigers telecasts this season," FSD announced in a statement from spokeswoman Courtney Welch.
