The Sox hired McKnight to help improve a broadcast that Awful Announcing's fan poll last July rated as the most disliked local call in MLB.

McKnight, who becomes a Sox employee, will serve as the team insider, reporting from the field and appearing on CHSN shows. He also will fill in on play-by-play for TV and radio broadcasts.
