Ross Porter begins hosting a talk show on a fill-in basis Friday on KSPN 710 AM at 4 p.m., according to Sports By Brooks.
Speculation about the significance of this for Porter's future as a broadcaster for the Dodgers is already considerable. I'm waiting to hear something definitive. If it's bad news, as I think a Porter departure would be, I'm not in a rush.
Update: If a decision has been made about his status, the 28-year Dodger announcer has still not been informed. There's no official news yet, Porter told me in an e-mail late tonight.
"My manager continues to push hard for an answer as this has dragged on entirely too long, and we believe they will tell us what they are going to do very shortly," Porter said.
If nothing else, Porter has been able to appreciate the postseason amid all the uncertainty.
"The LCS games were tremendous for baseball," Porter said.
