Siddall to replace Zaun as TV studio analyst for Sportsnet Blue Jays broadcasts
TORONTO — The medium has changed but Joe Siddall’s approach won’t.
Sportsnet announced Wednesday that Siddall, a former major-league catcher, will join the Toronto Blue Jays Central broadcast as a studio analyst. Siddall, 50, of Windsor, Ont., will work alongside host Jamie Campbell for pre- and post-game coverage of the Jays and is scheduled to make his debut March 26.
Siddall takes over from Gregg Zaun, who was fired in December following complaints by female colleagues of inappropriate behaviour and language. Zaun, also a former major-league catcher, later apologized in a statement released by his lawyer for “the harm caused by my language.”
Zaun was a colourful personality on television, often criticizing the Blue Jays, but Siddall said he’s not going to change his approach.
