DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers television play-by-play man Jason Benetti is a top candidate to be the No. 1 play-by-play voice of NBC, Front Office Sports reported Monday.

Benetti, a lifelong White Sox fan and the south side's main commentator from 2016 through 2023, left after reports of a "contentious relationship" with executive Brooks Boyer to join the division rival Tigers.
