The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday that television play-by-play broadcaster John Schriffen will not return to the broadcast booth for the upcoming Major League Baseball season. Schriffen spent three seasons calling games for the South Side franchise across regional sports network telecasts, guiding viewers through several transitionary years for the club. The organization expressed gratitude for his professionalism, energy, and contributions to the team’s multimedia presentations over the course of his multi-year tenure behind the microphone.
The broadcast change arrives as the White Sox undertake broader organizational adjustments heading into the offseason. Schriffen, an experienced sports journalist who previously worked with national outlets including ESPN, NFL Network, and CBS Sports, brought an upbeat delivery to Chicago’s coverage during challenging rebuilding campaigns on the diamond. Team executives indicated that a comprehensive search for a new television play-by-play voice will commence immediately, with details regarding the future broadcast booth lineup expected before spring training opens.
