DETROIT, January 17, 2023 ~ According to sources, Hall-of-Fame pitcher, three-time World Series champion, and Bally Sports Detroit broadcaster Jack Morris will not be part of the Detroit Tigers broadcast team for the upcoming 2023 season.
Neither Bally Sports Detroit nor Morris have made any comments on the matter. It is unclear if the separation was mutual, though Bally Sports Detroit has been cutting budget since 2020, while Morris has expressed interest in spending more time with his son, a highly-recruited pitcher in his senior season of high school.
