"Rich Hill and Manny Delcarmen - both former Red Sox pitchers and Massachusetts natives - will be part of the network's cast of studio analysts, as will Worcester native and former Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi and another ex-Sox pitcher, Matt Barnes."
"Dave O'Brien returns for his 20th season overall calling Red Sox games and his 11th with NESN. Lou Merloni is back as the primary color analyst, with Will Middlebrooks and Kevin Millar also rotating in the role."
"Hill, from Milton, said in the offseason that he has no plans to play this year after a 21-season Major League career that included four stints with the Red Sox."
NESN has expanded its Red Sox broadcast team with four new studio analysts for the upcoming season. Rich Hill, a Milton native with a 21-season MLB career including four stints with the Red Sox, joins after announcing his retirement from playing. Manny Delcarmen, a Hyde Park native who previously worked as a NESN analyst from 2018-20, returns to the network. J.P. Ricciardi, a Worcester native and former Blue Jays general manager, and Matt Barnes, another ex-Sox pitcher, complete the new additions. The network's core broadcast team remains largely unchanged, with Dave O'Brien returning for his 20th season calling Red Sox games and Lou Merloni continuing as primary color analyst.
