Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo, who has been with NESN calling Red Sox games since 2001, will not be offered a new contract at the end of this season, according to multiple reports.
Chad Finn, Boston Globe:
[Orsillo] is expected to be replaced by Dave O'Brien, who currently is part of the Red Sox radio broadcast team on WEEI and also has a high-profile, multi-sport play-by-play role at ESPN. ...
Orsillo signed a contract in November 2011 that included an option for 2015. NESN showed no urgency in picking up the option last summer, making Orsillo wait out his fate.
