Vasgersian, however, is said to be happy with his current roles. Matt Vasgersian has huge national platforms on MLB Network and ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, as well as roots as a local play-by-play announcer for the Brewers and Padres. But Marquee officials also have ambitions to create a national feel for Cubs broadcasts and Davis would bring a certain cachet.īy the end of this search process, a finalist likely would have met with Marquee general manager Mike McCarthy, senior Marquee executives Mike Santini (programming and production) and Amy McDevitt (marketing and digital) as well as Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney and Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts. It’s unclear whether the Cubs and Sinclair Broadcast Group, the team’s partner in this TV venture, would go above and beyond to lure a rising star who replaced the legendary Vin Scully at Dodger Stadium. Davis’ passion for college football would be another scheduling consideration if Marquee went in that direction. Davis would need the flexibility to continue his national responsibilities with Fox Sports, which has put him in line to potentially join the World Series booth whenever Joe Buck scales back his busy schedule. The nostalgia is there as Davis grew up a Cubs fan, played football at Beloit College in Wisconsin and still has family in Michigan.

While it’s unlikely that Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis would uproot his young family and leave a great setup in Southern California, that idea can’t be dismissed in this preliminary stage. The following is a look at the landscape, based on information from industry sources. Replacing Kasper – a popular voice among Cubs fans and an encouraging mentor/longtime friend to some of the names on this list – will be a difficult decision for a Cubs organization in transition and a regional sports network that only launched in February.
