When the 2019 season gets underway, there will be a new look to Atlanta Braves broadcasts on Fox SportSouth and Fox Sports Southeast. Per an exclusive report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Tim Tucker, Jeff Francoeur will replace Joe Simpson as lead analyst for broadcasts on the regional networks.
Simpson will remain part of the broadcast team but will shift more to radio side while still making a few TV appearances. Per the AJC’s report, this was a joint decision by the network and the team and it appears to have caught Simpson off guard.
