But, the assignment got switched.
Vasgersian, whose contract with the San Diego Padres expires after the season, hopes to sign an extension to that deal soon but also likes doing football for the network.

"Matt is one of the outstanding young play-by-play broadcasters in the country," Fox Sports President Ed Goren told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "We've been looking for an opportunity to bring him on board."
Fox's other broadcast teams: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver (sideline); Dick Stockton, Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa (sideline); Kenny Albert, Brian Baldinger and Chris Myers (sideline); Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan; Ron Pitts and Terry Donahue.
