Overview
- Front Office Sports reported that Benetti is the leading candidate to be NBC’s lead MLB play-by-play voice, and NBC and Fox declined to comment.
- Benetti’s Fox contract extends later into the year, and sources say he would need the network’s permission to take an NBC role.
- NBC/Peacock’s 2026–28 package includes Sunday morning games on Peacock, a Sunday night window on NBC when available, and exclusive rights to the Wild Card round.
- At Fox, Benetti sits behind Joe Davis and Adam Amin on the MLB depth chart and has not called an MLB postseason game during his tenure.
- Benetti previously called NBC’s Peacock Sunday morning MLB package in 2022, and recent NBC–Fox talent-sharing arrangements, such as NBC loaning Rebecca Lowe to Fox, provide relevant precedent.
