As it was clear on Monday night's game against the Kansas City Royals, the familiar voices and beloved Toronto Blue Jay broadcasters Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman were not announcing the game. They are taking a scheduled week off.
Replacing Martinez and Shulman was Shulman's son, Ben, who announces for Rogers Centre radio. Joining him as his partner in crime was Joe Siddall, a veteran and regular Sportsnet studio analyst.
Martinez' break was always a planned thing. Under his two-year contract, which entails about 100 games, occasional breaks are given to him throughout the season.
