Jim Deshaies is an American left-handed starter who used to play in the major leagues. He played for six different Major League Baseball (MLB) teams during his 12 years in the league.
On August 7, 1984, he played his first game in the Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees. In 1986, his first full season with the Astros, he won 12 games, which was an Astros rookie record.
From 1997 to 2012, Deshaies and Bill Brown both gave Astros TV broadcasts commentary. Fans looked up to him as an analyst, and he was very popular during his time.
At the moment, he is a color commentator for Chicago Cubs games that are shown on TV. When Len Kasper left the job in 2020, Deshaies was chosen to take over.
Where is Jim Deshaies, the Cubs announcer, tonight?
Jim Deshaies (JD), who is the Cubs’ color analyst, will not be at the MLB game on Tuesday. He hasn’t done his odd job of commenting on things for a few days.
The Chicago Cubs (44-64) play the Nationals again on Tuesday night, but JD’s fans will miss him a lot.
Last week, the commentator gave an update on his health and talked about why he hadn’t been there. After getting COVID, he has to stay in bed for the time being.
When some viewers heard that Jim wasn’t on the show, they sent well wishes for a quick recovery.
One person on Twitter said, “Jim Deshaies, feel better. You’ll be back in your fanny pack and on your folding bike in no time.”
