The White Sox have narrowed their field of potential replacements for TV voice Jason Benetti to three: Red Sox radio voice Will Flemming, ESPN 1000’s Connor McKnight and John Schriffen of ESPN TV.
Mike Monaco, who initially was a favorite for the job, removed himself from consideration this week because of scheduling conflicts with ESPN.
Flemming is the most experienced of the three for the job, having called the Red Sox since 2019. He also has contributed to ESPN and CBS. His brother Dave is a broadcaster for the baseball Giants and ESPN.
Schriffen joined ESPN in 2020 to call Korea Baseball Organization games. He doesn’t have a lot of experience calling MLB games. He has called mostly college sports on the network, in addition to NBA G-League and Summer League games.
McKnight has been a regular fill-in on White Sox radio broadcasts, but he has a few TV broadcasts under his belt. He mostly has been the Sox pregame and postgame host since joining ESPN 1000 in 2021. Before that, he co-hosted middays on The Score.
