Boston Radio: Red Sox Nation Wondering About Will Flemming


With spring training just around the corner, Boston baseball fans wonder about Will Flemming’s future role with the broadcast team.

Audacy Boston’s WEEI has put up a job posting for a “Red Sox Play by Play/Analyst Announcer” for the 2024 Sox season — which kicks off with spring training games in late February and then regular season games at the end of March.

Once this position started circulating on social media, Sox fans immediately wondered about what this means for Flemming, who has been calling games on WEEI since 2019.

Flemming is also a play-by-play broadcaster for ESPN.

The Boston Herald reached out to Audacy Boston’s WEEI, asking how this job posting will impact Flemming and if he will return to WEEI broadcasts for the 2024 Sox season.

“The station is simply building a bench,” an Audacy spokesperson said in a statement.

For the announcer role, WEEI is looking for someone with “extensive experience” as a radio baseball announcer.

“Strong on-air voice required with the ability to change tempo and passion as game action dictates,” the posting reads. “Knowledge of Red Sox history and the Boston sports scene necessary.”
