Don Orsillo was entering the final year of his contract as the play-by-play voice of the San Diego Padres this season. He and former Padre, Mark “Mud” Grant, have called the majority of games together since he arrived in San Diego in 2016. An announcement Tuesday ensures Orsillo will remain in the booth for the foreseeable future.
I am pleased to announce a longterm extension signing with the @Padres. I would like to thank the Padres fans and the SD community for being so very kind. I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Erik Greupner who made all of this possible and for his leadership.
