After 14 seasons, the Phillies and radio broadcaster Jim Jackson have parted ways.
As it turns out, Gregg Murphy will not be the only member of the Philadelphia Phillies broadcast team who will not return for the 2021 season. On Wednesday, Jim Jackson revealed that the Phillies informed him they are “no longer in need of my broadcasting services,” as he is a “luxury the organization can no longer afford in such uncertain times” during the COVID-19 crisis.
