Buck Martinez is preparing to return to the Blue Jays’ broadcast booth next season for his 36th year on the call, but someone will be missing in the seat beside him.
broadcaster Buck Martinez is not happy about losing his regular running mate in the booth.
“It’s very, very sad,” Martinez continued. “It kind of reflects the world today where experience isn’t valued and consistency isn’t valued and loyalty isn’t valued. It was a sad call when I heard that Pat had not been renewed for next year. The former Blue Jays manager - who began his broadcasting career with the franchise in 1987 - took a leave of absence in April while undergoing treatment for cancer. He did, however, make his triumphant return on July 26.
