(WXYZ) — Former Tigers broadcaster Mario Impemba has a new gig just as spring training begins.

Impemba will be one of the Red Sox play-by-play radio announcers on WEEI, the Boston Globe reports.

Impemba and longtime partner Rod Allen were pulled from the Tigers broadcast booth for the remainder of the season in 2018 after they were reportedly involved in a physical altercation on Sept. 5 after the Tigers' game against the Chicago White Sox.
