Orsillo will also do some radio work before shifting full-time to television in 2017, according to a press release. The hiring of Orsillo was part of the team's announcement of its broadcast lineup for '16.
Orsillo, 46, called Red Sox games on NESN for the past 15 seasons, but the network decided to replace him with Dave O'Brien, who is moving over to television from radio next season.
The decision was very unpopular with Red Sox Nation, as more than 60,000 fans signed a petition demanding the Red Sox reverse their decision.
