I’m happy for former Detroit Tigers broadcaster Mario Impemba.

He will be a Boston Red Sox play-by-play radio announcer on the team’s flagship station WEEI, according to the Boston Globe.

But there is a part of me that thinks something else: Dave Freakin’ Dombrowski does it again. He has stolen another Tigers asset.

Impemba was fired from his Tigers gig after a highly publicized altercation with broadcast partner Rod Allen in September.

The Tigers have moved on, hiring Matt Shepard, who I’m certain will do a fantastic job, calling the Tigers games on Fox Sports Detroit.

I’m actually excited to hear Shepard call games every night, to see how good he can be, when he’s not trying to work three jobs in one day.

But on a personal level, I’m happy Impemba has found another job. He is a tremendous broadcaster.

He will be part of a platoon, according to the Globe.

But there is one part that irks me: The Dombroski factor.

The Red Sox felt like the Boston Tigers last year when they featured a roster with J.D. Martinez, David Price, Rick Porcello and Ian Kinsler.

Add in Dombrowski, the former Tigers boss, pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

Now, they have taken the voice of the Tigers? Even if, you know, he was no longer the voice of the Tigers?

Now, Impemba is going to be calling games, games that matter, as Boston defends its World Series title?

That feels cruel and unusual, especially at a time when the Tigers are still stuck in a painful rebuild.

This summer is going to be so strange. Impemba and Allen had become the voice of summer in Michigan. There was something soothing, listening to their broadcasts. Even if it was known there was a simmering tension between them. I told my wife and kids, and we would listen to the broadcasts, detecting minor moments of tension.

But that is all in the past.

And now, it's time for everybody to move on.

So good for Impemba.

I’m happy for him.

As far as Dombrowski, he can just stay away.

Unless he wants to trade for Michael Fulmer. Or Nicholas Castellanos. Or even Miguel Cabrera.
