With spring training just around the corner, WEEI is searching for a Red Sox play-by-play announcer as local baseball fans wonder about Will Flemming’s future role with the broadcast team.

Audacy Boston’s WEEI has put up a job posting for a “Red Sox Play by Play/Analyst Announcer” for the 2024 Sox season — which kicks off with spring training games in late February and then regular season games at the end of March.

“If you have experience and expertise in describing baseball action on the radio — to go along with an engaging personality — you could be a perfect match to call games alongside Hall-of-Famer Joe Castiglione in the Sox Booth this year!” reads the job posting.

“Some games/innings will be in a play-by-play role, describing on-field action; other games/innings would be spent as an analyst, assisting the lead play-by-play voice with game reaction,” the posting states. “Deliver live game broadcasts that are both entertaining and informative.”

Once this position started circulating on social media, Sox fans immediately wondered about what this means for Flemming, who has been calling games on WEEI since 2019.

Flemming is also a play-by-play broadcaster for ESPN.

“if it ain’t Will Flemming I don’t want it,” Jared Carrabis wrote in response to the WEEI announcer posting.

“Hope @WillFlemming is okay,” Ed Hand posted.

The Herald reached out to Audacy Boston’s WEEI, asking how this job posting will impact Flemming and if he will return to WEEI broadcasts for the 2024 Sox season.

“The station is simply building a bench,” an Audacy spokesperson said in a statement.

Flemming did not immediately respond to comment.

For the announcer role, WEEI is looking for someone with “extensive experience” as a radio baseball announcer.

“Strong on-air voice required with the ability to change tempo and passion as game action dictates,” the posting reads. “Knowledge of Red Sox history and the Boston sports scene necessary.”
