One of baseball’s great radio duos could be getting a new look starting next season, as Phillies radio color analyst Larry Andersen will be cutting down his time on the road.
In 2016 Fangraphs rated play-by-play voice Scott Franzke and Andersen sixth among MLB radio voices. The duo have worked together since 2007, and recently the team has worked former players into the booth as a potential platoon in place of the former pitcher.
Andersen, 64, first notified the Phillies last year that he’s cutting back his travel schedule starting next season. He cited wanting to be home and little nuances being on his nerves while traveling or at the game.
