York was recently the host of the pre-and-postgame shows for the Tigers and Detroit Pistons

Smooth Johnny also gets a mention, though this is mostly a Tigers article.

That’s unfortunate. I like seeing all of the regular host that have been with the teams for years.

That's a bummer, tbh.

This sucks. Obviously FanDuel is cutting costs, and the Tigers are going their own way with on-air talent in preparation of likely splitting from FanDuel in the not too distant future, but Mickey’s been a staple there for well over 20 years. I figured they'd keep him on for Pistons coverage - I can’t remember a season without him as the primary studio host, all the way back to the early-to-mid 2000s when it was kind of an open secret that the studio shows were being produced out of Seattle. But I guess its cheaper to have the hosts be fresh out of broadcast school and being paid half the salary of the longtimers. I hope he finds another gig in the area.
