After 13 years together, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that FOX Sports Florida will not bring back Marlins play-by-play announcer Rich Waltz. Studio analysts Jeff Conine and Preston Wilson—both former players for the franchise—are also gone:
“After a thorough review of our Marlins telecasts, we have decided to make changes with the broadcast talent for the coming season,” Fox said in a statement. “We feel that this is the right time to make a change, and we’ve shared our decision with the team. We thank Rich, Jeff and Preston for the hard work and dedication they brought to the broadcast and wish them the very best.
