Daron Sutton won’t come back to D’backs broadcast booth

And both of their television broadcasters did not finish the year with the team. Lead play-by-play voice Daron Sutton was suspended for insubordination around midseason and didn’t return, and color commentator (and former D’backs player) Mark Grace was taken off the air after he was arrested for DUI for the second time in a little over a year.

Thursday, team president Derrick Hall announced Sutton and Grace won’t be back:

And according to Diamondbacks’ team president Derrick Hall, who spoke with the ABC affiliate in Phoenix, there isn’t a set time for Sutton’s return:

Daron of course, I hired him, I extended him, he’s a very important part of our history and who we are. It’s been a culmination of events and unfortunately, I wish I could talk more about it, but when it comes to personnel issues, I don’t think it would be fair for him or us if we talked anymore than to say there’s no timetable on a return. It’s an indefinite suspension.The consensus seems to be, “C’mon. Something else has to be going on. This isn’t about just polo shirts.” While that makes the most sense, everything is just a guess right now.
