After talking with various outlets, Darrin Jackson has agreed to return to the White Sox as a radio analyst. Jackson had worked the last nine years in the television booth but his spot is being taken over by Steve Stone, joining play-by-play man Hawk Harrelson.
"This has been my home," Jackson told the Tribune Saturday. "Farmio (play-by-play announcer Ed Farmer) is a friend of mine, and we're going to have fun."
Jackson, 46, had explored possibilities with ESPN, MLB.TV and others before informing Sox officials of his decision to return.
The Sox's spring training move from Tucson to Glendale also was attractive to Jackson, who resides in Chandler in the off-season.
"There were a lot of interesting things going on," Jackson said. "But now I don't have to mess around. I'm staying in Chicago."
