Radio broadcaster Jim Jackson has been let go by the team after 14 seasons, he announced on Twitter Wednesday.

“The Phillies have informed me that they are no longer in need of my broadcasting services,” Jackson said in a statement. “I’m told I’m a ‘luxury the organization can no longer afford in such uncertain times.'”

Jackson is now the second member of the team’s broadcast crew to be laid off ahead following the end of the 2020 season.
