Why Josh Lewin is trading the Mets for the Padres
Josh Lewin is leaving the Mets for the San Diego Padres, The Post has learned.
After being Howie Rose’s game-calling partner on the Mets the past seven years, Lewin is taking a newly created position on Padres radio in which he will primarily be the pre- and postgame host, according to sources. Lewin has family roots in San Diego and was the longtime voice of the Chargers before they moved to Los Angeles.
Lewin’s new Padres role is similar to what Wayne Randazzo had on WOR-710 AM with the Mets. Randazzo, the pre- and postgame host on the Mets’ WOR games, would fill in on play-by-play when the main guys were off.
The Mets’ broadcast will move from WOR to WCBS-880 AM next season.
